PRB: ASP Pages are Blank when DTC Scripting Platform is Client

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0
• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0
• Remote Data Service for ADO versions 2.0, 2.01, 2.1, 2.1 SP1, 2.1 SP2

SYMPTOMS

No data is displayed in the Design Time Controls when the Scripting Platform is set to Client (IE4.0 DHTML) and the application resides on a virtual server.

CAUSE

When the Scripting Platform is set to Client (IE 4.0 DHTML) and the application resides on a virtual server, there must be a virtual directory that points to c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSADC\.

RESOLUTION

Confirm that the virtual server has a virtual directory called MSADC that points to C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSADC\.

See the following steps on how to create a virtual directory using the New Virtual Directory Wizard:

1. Open the Internet Service Manager.



2. Right-click the virtual server.



3. Select "New Virtual Directory" to open the New Virtual Directory Wizard.



4. Type MSADC in the "Alias to be used to access virtual directory" text box. Click Next.



5. Browse for "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSADC" and select OK. Click Next.



6. Select "Allow Execute Access". Click Next.



7. Click Finish.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
