IE 7 or IIS 7 issues...

I'm trying to have IIS 7 serve up some video files (.wmv). For some funky
reason, it's just not working. It works fine for graphics files in the same
folder (.jpg), but not video files. Same file name and path, just a
different extension. Same permissions on both.

I've tried granting everyone full permissions on the folder, with no luck.
http://localhost is in my trusted sites.

From my log file, I'm getting an HTTP error 206 (as far as I can tell).
Looks something like this:
2007-01-11 05:23:32 ::1 GET /i-semm/movies/movies/0612000002/Click.wmv -
80 - ::1
Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+6.0;+SLCC1;+ .NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+Media+Center+PC+5.0;+.NET+CLR+ 3.0.04506;+InfoPath.2)
206 0 995


Now, the funky part is that serving up this same file in FireFox 2.0, it
works fine. Starts playing in Media Player, life is good. My link in
either case looks something like:
http://localhost/i-semm/movies/movie...0002/Click.wmv (which won't do
anyone else any good, since I'm behind a firewall, and my localhost isn't
your localhost )

Any suggestions? This was a perfectly good web application, working fine in
XP MCE. Nothing but frustration in Vista.

Hello, you might want to take a look at XAMPP (not sure about vista
compatibility though...since I have not tried it yet on vista)

http://portableapps.com/apps/development/xampp

This is a stand alone - no install server based on apache and has mysql...
very easy to use.. good for testing out things, installing various web
applications
and CMS's.

Funny, i can't repro in my vista.
i got 200 0 995. while 995 stands for

The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an
application request.

and media player starts playing the movie.

your 206 indicate partial content served. does that happen to all videos ?

I think it had something to do with another app taking over the media stream
(whatever video player is part of Nero).
