Hello -- I am having difficulty moving a Classic ASP application from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012. In WS2003, I have a directory of *.xls files which actually contain ASP script to dynamically generate an Excel file. To do this, I set-up a "Handler Mapping" as *.xls to run %windir%\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll, and this works fine. However, this does not seem to work in IIS 8.0 on WS2008 -- I get the following error message:
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.
I have tried removing the static MIME Type .xls but this does not resolve the matter.
