IIS 6 image with out extension not displaying

hi guys..

We are in a stage of migrating an application server in to new windows 2003 environment with IIS 6.

case 1

In one Application we are using images with blank extension, these images are showing perfectly through ie 6, in previous version(IIS 5 and Win 2000), but not now.

Case 2

Almost all applications, we re using seagate chrystal report 8 as reporting tool.As u all know we will have to install seagate page server as a windows service.
But while installing its throwing an errror, " U have insufficient privilages to install this service Errror 1923 "

But the same thing same installtion is perfectly happening with Windows 2000 server.


Plz guide me thru..Im breaking my head here with this....

Cheeers.....

I've never heard of a file with no file extension displaying as an image.

Case 2 apparently your user account doesn't have permissions to do what you are trying to do.

Its not the problem with the user persmission.

Did you ever solve the image problem. I just ran into the same problem where I moved a site running able commerce to a new server. Half the images do not have extensions. They loaded fine under windows 2k but under 2k3 they will not load.

Thanks.

I think the problem is that IIS doesn't know how to serve the file without an extension. Try adding a mime type for it.
