SYMPTOMS
When you are trying to either select or to remove the check in the Cache ISAPI Applications check box on an Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 application folder, the check box is not available (it is dimmed) and you cannot change the value. You can change the value on the Web site level but not on application level.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the ADSutil.vbs administration script to change the application property:   To not cache ISAPI applications on the folder called &quot;myapplication&quot;: C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/root/myapplication/cacheisapi 0   To allow the cache of ISAPI applications on the folder called &quot;myapplication&quot;: C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/root/myapplication/cacheisapi 1 



STATUS
