I have a .Net website and am using Windows XP and IE 6.0.
Everything is working as expected.
However, I created a .MSI file so I could move the web application to a hosting computer. I need to use the .MSI because I need to include Crystal Reports .MSM merge files.
I tried to test the installation by installing it on my computer. The installation ran successfully and the files were copied to my test folder.
I am mimicking the folder that was set up on the hosting computer which is: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mytruea
All of my files are in the turnbacktheclock folder.
Both mytrueage.com and turnbacktheclock were set up as virtual directories and I tried putting TurnBackTheClock as the application name in both folders. NO luck.
I then tried to change the application name in mytrueage.com to: mytrueage.com and still no luck.
One thing I did notice is that the Starting Point in the properties of mytrueage.com seems to start in the D:\... directory. Could this be my problem?
I am mystified because the original development site works as expected but the site generated using the .MSI installation does not.
I need to find out how to deploy my application to a shared hosting environment on a hosting site using the Crystal Reports merge files ASAP.
Thanks for any help given,

Rama,
Thanks for your quick response. I will try some of the things in your response.
However, once I get the system working on my computer, I will still need to get the system to work on the hosting computer of which I do not have access to the computers management console nor do I have access to the hosting computers IIS.
I will call the hosting company and see if they can help.
Thanks again.

Hi,
The Problem Could be ...
1. Error you get indicates that you need some authentication, username/password, That also can be post in the OPEN method, from memory: HTTPRequest.OPen url, method, [username, password]
2. Check any Firewall running on your PC, if running check for the permissions.
3. Checked the permissions and it has the IUSER_machinename user in hte list. Also i can view the html pages in the server but just not the aspx pages.
4. If the above doesn't work, could you able to load other .asp pages except that particular page?
If the other pages works fine then turns out that this problem has to do with access rights. Go to the security event log viewer, and you'll see a whole bunch of access denied messages about not being able to log in the user. In this case, IIS had been setup to use the Administrator account for anonymous web access. Somehow the browser had been authenticating properly, but the accesses originating from the DOS prompt were not.
So the fix is to go into the computer management console, and select IIS. The right click the properties for the default website, go to security, enable anonymous access, then edit the settings, and choose an actual user of the machine to be the user that IIS uses for anonymous access.
