PATH_TRANSLATED / SCRIPT_NAME server variable 404 issue.

Please Help.
Nobody seems to have posted a solution for this yet.

System:
Windows 2000 (unknown if it is Pro, Server or Advanced Server)
All known service packs are installed.

Symptoms:
Accessing a URL from an asp.net application such as
http://www.url.com/path/script.aspx/report.ext?id=200 (where "script.aspx"
is the script page) returns a 404 - file not found error on one installation
while six other installations work fine.
However...
Accessing the URL http://www.url.com/path/script.aspx/report?id=200 works
fine on all installations (except that it doesn't return the PATH_INFO
required for the application). That is, it doesn't return a 404.

The only difference between the installations that I can find is that this
one is completely installed in a virtual directory while the others are
installed from the root of their servers or in physical directories beneath
that root. The "Check if File Exists" in the web properties > Directory Tab
> Configuration > App Mappings > .aspx extension is not checked, as it
shouldn't be.

There may be some additional "hidden" settings in the metabase that I'm
missing, but nobody seems to have identified them as of yet.

The AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings metabase setting has no effect, nor do I
wish to change it from the default.

This issue seems to keep coming back in variations so any help would be
greatly appreciated!
