RE: IIS 6.0 - "Service Unavailable" - ISAPI filters do not load

Case solved.
Finally I found in the Event Log for applications an entry telling me the
exact path of the filter that did not load.
I then searched for files that might include any call for this filter, and
that turned out to be the IIS metabase.
Now the metabase has some similarities to the Windows Registry, that you
should be careful with what you do if you want to edit it (and be sure to
have a backup). The metabase is an XML file, deceivingly simple in that it is
a text file - but none the less with a structure you must not damage.
I searched the Microsoft web site for any documentation of the metabase, and
ran into an entry telling me that there was a Resource Kit for IIS containing
a metabase browser.
Downloading and using this, I could safely remove the entry trying to load
the no longer existing script filter, close the browser, start the
application node in IIS - and the Active Server Pages reports were once again
available.
Will somebody make an entry in the KB about this variant of "Service
Unavailable"?

The browser only gives the message "Service Unavailable" (HTTP 1.1 503). The
application event log says - among other things:
"Event Type: Error

A search in Microsoft KB gives me only Article ID 894435 related to a 64-bit
version of Windows, but as far as I can see (My Computer > Properties,
Winver) this server is not running 64-bit Windows, just 32-bit.
The server is updated with all relevant Microsoft updates.
It runs databases (Oracle 10g, SQL Anywhere, MS SQL runtime etc.) and we use
Active Server Pages to display formatted data from one of the databases -
these are among the pages that fail.
Some plain .html files I can open in the server console, but not via http
from another machine.
Where should I look for possible causes and remedies for this?
