W3launch questions

[Mark Ellis]

Peter,

It doesn't sound like you've done a content type mapping on your server for
the .w3l file type, so the it's is not sending the correct content type
header to the browser.  I expect this involves diddling with the registry.

After you done this, restart the web server service so the change takes effect.

I hope this helps.
