How to host a WBA on IIS 7.0 in Windows Vista Beta 2.0?
When I follow the HOL: Building Web Brower Application with Windows Presentation Foundation and deploy a WBA with IIS 7.0, IIS can not work normally. After I copy the output content to c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XBox and navigate IE 7.0 tohttp://localhost/XBox/XBox.xbap, I get a error page with following message:
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) map policy that is configured on the Web server. The page you requested has a file name extension that is not recognized, and therefore is not allowed.
I try to follow the instruction to modify MIME type in IIS 7.0, but MIME type Management feature can not be found in IIS Manager.
Who can help me resolve this problem? Thanks very much.
Evironment:
Windows Vista Beta 2, Windows SDK, Visual Studio 2005, Orcas (Cider), Workflow Extension.
You need to install the MIME types necessary to serve XBAP applications on your local IIS instance. The MIME types required are described here: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752346.aspx
I tried to do this from the IIS7 admin UI, but couldn't find the right place to add the MIME types and ended up adding them manually to the applicationHost.config file (roughly analogous to the metabase in IIS7) which is normally found at c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\. If you open that XML file up in a text editor and search for "staticContent" you should find the right place to add the required elements.
Great thanks for your help. Following your instruction, it works better now.
But there still have some thing wrong. After I navigate to http://localhost/XBox/Xbox.xbap, browser begin to display the download process. But after the download, it display a message "Applicaiton Deployment Error".
The following is the detail information. I appreciate you if you cuold give me further help!
