I have an ASP.NET MVC application running on IIS 7.5. Somehow, on my machine, requests ending in ‘.js’ are not caught by the corresponding controller action while they are on a colleague’s machine.

The action has the ActionName attribute specified:

ActionName("Scripts.js")
public ActionResult ScriptsJS()
{
    ...
}

When I issue a request to ‘Scripts.js’, I get a 404 while for my colleague’s machine, he gets the result of the ScriptsJS action.

I figure it’s something I have to configure in IIS, since the same code runs fine on my colleague’s machine (also running IIS 7.5).

So, how do I configure IIS to pass requests ending in ‘.js’ to the MVC handler?

    It turned out that installing “IIS Recommended Configuration” using the Web Platform Installer resolved this issue.
