AD, IIS 6.0, .Net 2.0 Framework getting 404 error

[Nurm]

We have a live webserver that is running .net 1.1 and 2.0 (mainly 1.1
websites). This morning we put a .net 2.0 test website onto the server
and
are getting http 404 errors. The 2 different versions of the
framework are on different application pools. Both versions of the
asp.net are allowed, but we are getting this 404 error. Share point is
not on that server. The database server is on the same server and is
sql server 2000. This server is also our active directory controler
which we think might be an issue but are not sure. A testing server
with a similar setup runs both versions of the framework with out any
issues. The testing server is not a active directorycontroler.

After some discussion we have concluded that the error is ASP .Net 2.0
related.

IIS newsgroup guys have helped us disable the .net handlers to proove
the file are there, and can be reached. If we recycle the apppool, the
error takes slightly longer to show up with w3wp.exe starts. This
points to 404 being created from inside w3wp.exe.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Okay, problem fixed, here are the details:

We use E:\ as the root of our web-site for security reasons (you can't
use ..\.. hacks to run anything because the folder is rooted on the
drive). So some wierd reason .Net 2.0 does _NOT_ like the webroot to
be the root folder of a drive.

I just created a subfolder called Webfiles, and moved everything into
that, told IIS to use E:\Webfile as the root, tweaked a few config
files, and everything is working now.

Wierd .Net 2.0 bug eh?
