I love to use a bit of flash on my web sites. With the introduction of microsoft's security features, any navigation buttons you now need to click twice before they work. I did some research on the net and downloaded a tool from capitalhead. With this software you can type in your web address and it will fix the problem, I tried this and when I went to view the page it gave me the following error The page cannot be displayedYou have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed. Please try the following: Contact the Web site administrator if you believe this directory should allow execute access. HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied. Internet Information Services (IIS) So my question is .Can anyone tell me how I can get my pages with flash on them to appear without the "click to activate this control" Thanks
Are you using VS.NET to publish your website? VS.NET has a bug that turns off Execute access in the directory. To workaround the issue, follow the below steps to reinstall the application - Logon to the control panel - Navigate to Web Application Tool - Select the directory / Application - Click Uninstall Application - Wait 5 seconds - Click Install Application Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Hi Bruce, Thanks for your response, I followed the steps you suggested but I am a little confused over Select directory /Aplication After going to Web Application Tool it displays my websiteunder the htdocs folder To the left of that it says Current Path: <NOBR> \htdocs </NOBR> The root application cannot be disabled. Sowhere do I click to"Select the directory / Application"? If you could help that would be great. Thanks
