SYMPTOMSMicrosoft Active Server Pages (ASP) download instead of executing, even after you install the ASP fix for IIS. CAUSE
You may have a virtual directory defined to a physical directory
which parent is another virtual directory, and both have different
permissions.
ExamplePhysical Directory c:\InetPub\wwwroot has an alias of "/" with Read AccessPhysical Directory c:\InetPub\wwwroot\cgi-scripts has an alias of "/cgi-scripts" with Execute access. If you were to type in <server>/cgi-scripts/<filename>.asp everything would work. However, if you used the 8.3 naming convention .. <server>/cgi-sc~1/<filename>.asp, the server would not find the virtual directory because it is not aware of long file names and their 8.3 equivalents). Because it did not find a virtual directory, it would reference the file through the physical directory structure. Therefore, it would load the ASP file with the roots access of Read. WORKAROUNDIt is recommended that you never create virtual directories to physical directories under existing virtual directories.
