Dave,
No offense at all. I've been out of the office for about a week and just
haven't responded to any posts.
I suspect that what you're seeing here is some metabase corruption in IIS.

| Jim, hope I didn't offend you with my comment.
|
| In any case, we've had an unsatisfying resolution to this problem. We
| created a new web site in a vroot that just read from machine.config.
When we
| installed this, it worked. We created another vroot to point back to the
| original root dir that was having the problems, and it worked. We then
tried
| to go directly to the root again and it worked. The machine hadn't been
| rebooted and we had done several iisresets previously.
|
| I don't see how creating the new vroot could have resolved it. So, it
| remains a mystery to us.
|
| Thanks for your help.
|
