This is the registry entry for IIS 3 and is loaded every time IIS 4 starts up (and added to the list by IIS, why, I don't know). Thus old registry entries that are deleted or changed stay in the IIS 4 Management Console and confuse the Web server as to where the dll for a particular file extension mapping is located. After this entry is deleted, delete the multiple .tpl entries in the Management Console for IIS 4 (keep one that has a correct path, or enter one that leads to the WebCat.dll). > > Shut down the IIS Admin service and restart the Web Publishing Service.
