about IIS and the App Updater Blocks for .Net 1.1 and the Click Once stuff:

I would apply the MIME types only on the folder that will serv the updates.
other wise you might have files visible you don't want listed and other problems.

By clicking on the server node you add the type to *EVERY* domain / web / folder on that server.

Thanks Roy!

funny how this goes.... I have been working with the Updater Blocks this last week for a .net 1.1 app and had to figure out why IIS 5.1 worked and IIS 6.0 did 401 not found for some files.

after learing about the chnages to IIS 6 ( which are good chnages really )
and commenting on the got dot net workspace for the update blocks

I then saw your post and figured I would share the info that you can do the change on a folder basis....

Now If MS can get the new .net stuff done plase so I can use that and not have to build this stuff :-)

I'm loving what I see for 2005 SQL and .Net and Team System ... Sweet ... but still not ready to use.

Roy,

This actually helped me solve a problem I was having today with ClickOnce - even though I was not getting the described error message. I couldn't figure out how ClickOnce decided to name the Start Menu folder for the installed app. It takes the Registered Organization - and you reg key in the post showed me how to change it.

Another problem (should be fixed at some stage) is that URLScan will deny any URLs with dots in them, so if you publish to a vdir such asa /foo/foo v1.0.0/ then URLScan will block the request.
