IIS6.0: unable to create virtual directory

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new virtual directory in IIS6.0.
The creation of the virtual directory works, but when I
try to access a webpage I'm always getting 404 Page cannot
be found.
The reason is that the owsscr.dll can't be found
at /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll wich is logged in the iis logfile.

Therefore its not possible to create any Web Services.

Has anyone experienced this problem before.
Any help would be appreciated.

That's very odd. Have you tried re-installing Frontpage extensions?

Not yet. Other virtual directories wich are already present on the same
machine work. I've checked the settings of these webapps. There is no
difference.
Why do the new apps use FSE whereas the older ones don't?

Bob,
If others are working I wouldn't be too sure that the two problems are
related. What if instead of going to the directory, you try to get to
a specific file inside the directory? Also, what kind of file is it?
Just a plain HTML file?

Yes, it's a default.htm which contains nothing but a simple test message.
I've tried both:
http://website and http://website/default.htm
Neither works.

What are the exact URLs you are using?

Sorry there was a mistake in the previous post. The urls are:

http://localhost/website and http://localhost/website/default.htm
