When getting a newly configured Windows 7 box, I noticed that ASP.NET was turned off by default. So was classical ASP. I was getting a 404.17 error for a web application. I think it's because I don't have an "aspx" MIME type. Although that's just a guess. When I turned them on under Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off, and restarted my Windows 7 machine, the MIME types never showed up. Can someone check what MIME type they have for *.aspx pages, and tell me the configuration in edit mode? What other MIME types would I be missing for ASP.NET extensions (ie: ashx, asax, etc...)? What is the best way to configure them all?

Fix:
I chose the "ISAPI & CGI Restrictions" after clicking the server name (not the site name) in IIS Manager, and right clicked the "ASP.NET v4.0.30319" lines and chose "Allow".
After turning on ASP.NET from "Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off", you must install ASP.NET from the Windows command prompt. The MIME types don't ever show up, but after doing this command, I noticed these extensions showed up under the IIS web site "Handler Mappings" section of IIS Manager.

However, I still got this error. But if you do what I mentioned for the "Fix", this will go away.
HTTP Error 404.2 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the ISAPI and CGI Restriction list settings on the Web server.
There are two reasons you might get this message:
%FrameworkDir%\%FrameworkVersion%\aspnet_regiis -i. Read the message carefully. On Windows8/IIS8 it may say that this is no longer supported and you may have to use Turn Windows Features On/Off dialog in Install/Uninstall a Program in Control Panel.Source: Stackoverflow.com
