To resolve this problem, remove the virtual directory in IIS. Then, re-create the virtual directory and configure it as an application. To remove the virtual directory, follow these steps:

* Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
* In Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Information Services.
* Click the name of the server that you want to configure, and then double-click Web Sites.
* Double-click the name of the Web site that you want to configure.
* Right-click the name of the virtual directory that you want to remove, and then click Delete. Click Yes.

To create a new virtual directory and configure it as an application, follow these steps:

* Click to select the name of the Web site in which you want to add the new virtual directory.
* On the Action menu, point to New, and then click Virtual Directory.
* In the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard, click Next.
* Type the name of the virtual directory that you want to create, and then click Next.
* Click Browse, select the directory for the application, and then click OK.
* Click Next, and then click Finish.
