Virtual Directory help needed.

[binspoonal]

I’m working with a fresh install of Windows Server 2003. I am having trouble with a virtual directory. I have a virtual directory that links to Microsoft words documents and to PaperPort .max files. When I click on the links to the word document they open right up. When I click on the PaperPort documents, I get the following msg “ Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.”

In Firefox I get the following msg “The link could not be saved. The web page might have been removed or had its name changed.”.

Any ideas?

open IIS

Right click on your server and select properties

Select MIME File Types

Add a new file type

extension = .max

Type = image/max

I am guessing on the "Type" field.. after doing a breif search I was unable to find the actual MIME definition. This should however get you to be able to save it.. it just wont be able to allow the web browser to autoselect the right program to auto open it in

If you wanted to get more granular you could right click on the virtural directory -> Properties -> HTTP Headers -> MIME File types..

Here you can add specific MIME file types for the V-Dir only
