Looks like it could be a permissions issue. Microsoft always "improve" security. The second article may be useful to you: http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2007/05/21/tips-for-classic-asp-developers-on-iis7.aspx - http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2007/05/21/tips-for-classic-asp-developers-on-iis7.aspx

Vista SP1 may fix this, but I can't confirm that.
