WMS Server - URL question on IIS

[TCHaddad]

Tried Richard's suggestion and then edited the URL to this format:

http://www.ourserver.com/path/default.asp?REQUEST=GetCapabilities
http://www.ourserver.com/path/default.asp?REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=States&BBOX=-1607383.613942,-259884.526499,2359824.013095,2787988.445255&FORMAT=image/png&STYLES=&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=300&VERSION=1.1.1

but we got the following server error:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/path/default.asp, line 6
Invalid ProgID.

So are we messing up the idea of the URLs, or is this something we need to/can correct on the server ?

this is the long format of the URLs which do work:

http://www.ourserver.com/path/mapserv.exe?map=D:\path\path\cgi-bin\atlas_wms.map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
http://www.ourserver.com/path/mapserv.exe?map=D:\path\path\cgi-bin\atlas_wms.map&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=States&BBOX=-1607383.613942,-259884.526499,2359824.013095,2787988.445255&FORMAT=image/png&STYLES=&WIDTH=400&HEIGHT=300&VERSION=1.1.1

thanks for any ideas ...
