- Install the feature that handles this request. For example, if you get this error for an .ASPX page, you may have to install ASP.NET via IIS setup.
- Verify that the Web service extension requested is enabled on the server.
- Open the IIS Manager and navigate to the server level.
- In the Features view, double-click ISAPI and CGI Restrictions to verify that the Web service extension is set to Allowed.
- If the extension is not in the list, click Add in the Actions pane.
- In the Add ISAPI and CGI Restrictions dialog box, type the path of the .dll or .exe file in the ISAPI or CGI Path box, or click Browse to navigate to the location of the file.
- In the Description box, type a brief description of the restriction.
- (Optional) Check "Allow extension path to execute" to allow the restriction to run automatically. If you do not check this option, the restriction status is Not Allowed, which is the default. You can allow the restriction later by selecting it and clicking Allow on the Actions pane.
- Click OK.
- Verify that the location of the extension is correct.
- Verify that the URL for the extension is spelled correctly both in the browser and the Web server.
