Are there any Viewpoint support people monitoring this forum, this is an important issue I would have thought, some hosts will only support windows 2003, which means I cant run viewpoint on the windows 2003 platform.
Thanks to Marios help (@ Viewpoint), I have found that the problem came down to some settings in the authentication methods of IIS 6. For some reason when I had Integrated WIndows Authentication selected then viewpoint player wouldnt show anything. When I deactivate the checkbox then it does.
I also made sure my MIME Types were correct, which is actually in the "installation" documentation, which was an error of mine not looking at!
