Scenario, you installed the IIS 6.0 and framework 2.0 on windows 2003 operating system. After deploying the web you observed that web is
responding an error with 404.
By default, once you installed the IIS. It want not allow to run ASP.net or web pages or CGI, perl etc.
you need to allow them to fix this error. You need to open IIS 6.0 and find the node called Web services extensions.
In right pen you can allow or prohibit the access to ASP.net 2.0 or CGI.

or you can use support forum at www.iis.net

The default IIS settings will allow you to only see the Static pages.
