Ok, I'm confused based on your statements. You first said:

And now you say:

>I'm using http://servername/virtualdirectoryname
>
>This is when I get the message

Which is it.

In any case, it does not matter what URL you use nor whether you use
Explorer/IE/IIS MMC Snapin. The only thing that matters is:
For the link that you click, what is its canonical URL: Give me the HTML
tag that correspondings to that link. It looks like <A HREF="???" >I
Clicked This</A>. I want to know what you put as ??? . And give me the
canonical URL you used to load the HTML page that contained this HTML: <A
HREF="???" >I Clicked This</A>

Basically, there are two possible causes for your error -- either you
downloaded and launched the CGI from the browser, or you caused the CGI to
launch on the server to generate a response. You said that this is a
server-side script, so if you download and launched the CGI from the
browser, that is obviously your server configuration error. If it was an
error on the server-side, then please post the CGI script code and make sure
that:
1. If it is a ScriptMapped CGI and not a CGI EXE, make sure that you give
the appropriate "%s"
2. If it is a CGI EXE, make sure it returns the necessary CGI headers to be
a proper CGI.
