Related to Server 2016  I should add    Run this command  aspnet regiis -lv from this dir  C  Windows Microsoft NET Framework v2 0 50727   This gives you the best view of what is going on On Server 2016  installing  net and iis out of sequence does not seem to be a problem  What is more likely to be a problem on Server 2016 is simply that asp net is not installed on the machine

I ve just had the same situation with my customer   We have our own product which installs a web site  The installer configures everything  the IIS pool  the site  web config  etc   We installed another web site using our installer   We entered the same parameters  so web configs happened to be the same in both sites    However  the newly installed site worked fine  while the old one didn t   Then I opened 2 IIS Manager windows and started comparing the difference in web site settings  And I found a problem   Somebody deleted all the Handler Mappings with the old site  If you go to  Handler mappings   you should see there aspx  asmx and other extensions and names of the handlers  So  in the old site all those records were missing    So  I would suggest first to check the  Handler mappings  - there must be a lot of records there  Create a new web site and compare to know how many should there be   Who deleted them  a person or another program  I have no idea  If somebody can tell if there exists some tracking application which would tell that user domain john was modifying web site at date  07 03 2012 12 34  that would be useful

If you are trying to view an extensionless file what worked for me was adding a MIME Type  File name extension    MIME type  text plain  This might have some MVC implications  especially if your Static File Handler is above the Extensionless    handlers  under IIS   Handler Mappings  but might be a work around when you only need this temporarily  like activating SSL Certs
