IIS 7.5 filters out old Lightroom 1.0 generated swf-files
A simple website just consisting of HTML pages and links to swf-files hosted on Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5, won't play the photogallery it is designed for. Just the frame comes up but no photos. The swf:s were generated four years ago through Lightroom 1.0 and played then without any problems on Sever 2003 IIS 6.0 (or 5.0??).
Today, opening the index.html directly through a browser play the old swf-files without problems. Generating an swf-site through the current 4.1 Lightroom version plays without problems through IIS 7.5.
So obviously the old swf:s are in some way different from the new ones. Since the old files played fine through the older version of IIS, there got to be a way to tweak IIS 7.5 to make them play. But how?

In MIME types I have ".swf application/x-shockwave-fl ash inherited". If there is a MIME problem the new .swf:s wouldn't play either?
Please try it yourself by downloading two sites, one with new .swf:s that work and one with old .swf:s that doesn't work. Log in to ftp://www.techpart.se as "Anonymous".
Thanks for your help!

I think you can install iis7.5 on Windows2008 with IIS6.0 Compatibility Features.

I have added all the IIS 6.0 features. Still does not work!
Have you restarted the IIS web Server service..?
Or can you restart the server..?
and then configure the new site with iis6.0 compatible and try may it will work.

IIS 6 compatibility is installed (I don't see it can be specially activated in IS Manager)
I restarted the www service= No result
I restarted the whole server=No result
