After Reinstalling IIS the following problems accured: All search capability has disappeared. When I un installed IIS all the virtual directories that were created during the IIS install were erased except one I'd renamed because it had customized search forms. Where previous installs had included everything I thought I might ever want to look at, this last had only features that were being used. Obviously some things were not put back and what was put back didn't necessarily end up where it had been before or where I wanted it. I may have changed the document root from \inetpub to \inetpub\wwwroot.
When I restored the original name for the directory with the customized forms, not surprisingly they no longer worked. I put back the missing scripts where they had been from backups but this did not fix the problem. I then went through Microsoft Management Console and checked all the virtual directory settings. The virtual directory names used to form the URL pointed to the physical directories that were restored. The read, execute and security setting all look fine but the result is always "The specified procedure could not be found." In the application settings under configuration, the extension of the script is mapped to the .DLL which exists where the settings indicate.
