HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found

Problem

You get this error when first trying to run your application

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found

The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

Most likely causes:

1. This can also be caused when Microsoft .NET Framework is not registered properly with Microsoft IIS.

2. The request matched a wildcard mime map. The request is mapped to the static file handler. If there were different pre-conditions, the request will map to a different handler.

Solution

1. Reregister ASP.NET with IIS by selecting Build, Re-register ASP.NET with IIS.

2. If you want to serve this content as a static file, add an explicit MIME map.
