I have two web projects one that compiles correctly the other does not. I am completely perplexed at why this is. I have read all the forums about 403 errors and have no success with any of the solutions. The virtual directories are both created in the same way through the build script so I know this is not the issue. I can compile both the projects through the Visual Studio 2003 IDE as well as with devenv.com.

Poking around ISS, I found out the working project sends a completly different message than the one that is broken.

Here is the IIS log file for the working and broken projects:

The working project sent the following commands to IIS

while the one that fails sends this to ISS

I am using clear case dynamic view for my builds
