Created XBAP test app the runs in VS2010 ... published to DASP and get the following error indicating that the DEAdminConsole.exe.config is not found ... it is in same DASP folder as DEAdminConsole.XBAP and DEAdminConsole.EXE files. Nothing in Google searches has helped identify cause except the suggested solution below. ERROR SUMMARY Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log. * An exception occurred while downloading the application.

DownloadSingleFile(DownloadQueueItem next) One solution I found suggested: 1. open IIS Manager. 2. navigate to the web site you are interested in. 3. click RequestFiltering. 4. click Allow File Name Extension... to add ".config". RequestFiltering is an option on the DASP tools but I cannot seem to get to it to make it work. Any assistance would be appreciated.
sorry.. can you elaborate? do you mean you don't see the requestFiltering option when you connect through iis manager?
"allow" File Name Extension ".config" I'm trying to set up the www.gadsopensource.com site to "allow" the downloading of *.exe.config which is being filtered by the DASP server. I went to MS IIS Manager and checked the feature for "Request Filtering (AdminPack)" but nothing happens when I click Update button. Is something supposed to be enabled or happen when the update button is pressed? I'm trying to have www.gadsopensource.com to "allow" File Name Extension ".config" to be downloaded.
