Using IIS on Vista

[Smiffy]

IIS installed but when I try to run asp pages I get a 401.2 - Unauthorized
error. I can't see where you set directory security in IIS7, it's nothing
like IIS6. Any ideas? Can I use IIS6 on VIsta? Thanks.

IIS is a Windows component. The version of that Windows component that ships
with Vista is 7.0. So, no, you can't use IIS 6 on Vista.

Most likely you have not enabled dynamic content. You need to do so during
the installation of IIS. See this page for details

Dynamic content is definately enabled. Still no joy though!!

Should have noticed immediately, but 401.2 means that the client and server
cannot agree on an authentication protocol. Check out this:

It should help you configure it properly.
