A bug fix addressing an error you could receive under specific circumstances with ASP 1.0a and prior. The error message "Invalid Application Name" was caused by a problem in Active Server Page's handling of Access Control Lists (ACLs)

(This fix was previously available in a hotfix of the Asp.dll version 1.14.07 dated 2/17/97, For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

A Note About NT Service Packs and ASP Updates

Updating Windows NT with a service pack will not automatically update ASP. The NT SP3 CD includes a separate ASP folder with a stand-alone setup that will upgrade ASP to 1.0b, but this setup must be run separately from the service pack setup. If you download the service pack online, the file you receive does not include any additional files such as the ASP upgrade. In this case, you will want to go to http://www.microsoft.com/iis and download the latest version of ASP.
