The problem is different:

On IIS 6.0 all CGI extensions are denied by default for security reason.

You should do the following steps:

- Define the cgi-bin IIS Virtual Directory with read and CGI execute IIS
permissions, ASP scripts are not needed, this automatically defines a
cgi-bin IIS web application
- Copy cachemgr.cgi into cgi-bin directory and look to file permissions:
the IIS system account and SYSTEM must be able to read and execute the file
- In IIS manager go to Web Service extensions and add a new Web Service
Extension called Squid Cachemgr, add the cachemgr.cgi file and set the
extension status to Allowed.

Now it should work.

Please note that IIS can execute CGI script with any file extension, so
there is no need to rename a .cgi executable to .exe.

Guido
