In IIS Manager, right-click on the web site (probably Default Web Site), go
to the Home Directory tab and click on the button to the right of the
Application name box. Make sure the "Execute permissions" is set to "Scripts
only".

Or it's something pretty much like that.

Glad to hear it.

For the benefit of anyone who may happen across this thread in the future,
what was the step that made it work?
