Thanks for your reply, Chris. About the same time you were penning your reply
I got a response from Microsoft on this issue as well.
The result of your suggested query was:
ProgID: Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0ProgID: Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0ProgID:
Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0
I don't know what that tells me and I still have no idea why the following
solution worked, but here was the answer for me. Perhaps with the above
information or the following you can provide greater insight. The top level
folder of the web application was a virtual folder and was thus a "web
application" to IIS. The folder with the piece of code that was crashing was
a couple of levels down. The solution was to make that subfolder a web
application also.
For the sake of anyone else reading this, what I mean by "make it a web
application" is to open the properties for the folder in IIS and click the
button that says "Create" near the "Application Name" field on the "General"
tab.
This seems so odd that this was the solution because SOME of the code WAS
running. But some of it wasn't working right apparently. I can't explain it.
I'm just glad it works now!
