Hi Scoolweb,
Somehow, I was tinkering with the settings and it now works. I never setup the subfolder as an application. I don't know why it didn't work initially? Maybe IIS had to reset?
From now on I am going to take out the <location> tags before doing upgrades.
Hope this helps...
The settings I have are below (I deleted some codes if I didn't know what they meant)... most important is the bold section, I think... but I left a few lines above and below so you see:
