Problem:
Web Player shows a blank home page or does not render content properly after login.
Solution:
Description:
When logging into the Web Player, it displays a blank Home Page or does not render content properly. You may see the following errors in the Web Player logs:
> "System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/Request"
OR
> System.InvalidOperationException: Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/recentFiles'.
Cause:
This happens when the .NET Framework is not registered correctly with IIS or "ISAPI and CGI restrictions" in IIS are not set correctly and are not set to "Allowed" in IIS. Open a command prompt (cmd) with Administrator privileges and run the following command:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe /i
