Custom handler on IIS 7.5 doesn't work - iis-7.5

I am new to IIS 7.5. I have an application in asp.net 2.0, which has its own custom URL rewriting mechanism. All the requests on the browser with .htm will be mapped to .aspx. It works fine on IIS 6, but somehow I could not get it working on IIS 7.5. On IIS 6, I go to Application Properties>Configuration>Mappings and add a new extension .htm with the executable as aspnet_isapi.dll
On IIS 7.5 i added a handler mapping, with path as .htm and executable as aspnet_ispai.dll
But the request does not even come to global.asax. If i try the URL with .aspx extension, pages load properly. Any idea how to set up custom mappings in iis 7.5?

After selecting Application Pool "Managed pipeline mode" to classic, it started working fine. By default it was set to "Integrated"

You can use handlers for both mode. Also check
ApplicationPool -> Advanced Settings
Enable 32bit code:true
if you are building in 32bit machine and hosting in 64bit machine
<!--handler for classic mode-->
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.js.axd" type="ScriptTranslator" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>

Setting up IIS 10 and publishing a .net core 2.1 web application to IIS

I am fairly new with the .net core framework and I am not very experienced setting up IIS 10 and am having trouble getting this up and running. On the servers end I am running Windows Server 2016. I have installed IIS 10 with Management Services (see image below) and the .net framework 4.6 features (see image below).
After installing this I have downloaded and installed the Web Deploy package from Web Deploy 3.6 (Previously I was installing the Web Platform Installer and then installing Web Deploy from there).
After rebooting the system I've made sure that the services are running properly (see image below).
All seems to be correct so the next step was to create an IIS website I decided to nest the site under the Default Web Sites as seen below:
The site points to the default application pool since I did not create a new one. I modified the app pool to the following settings:
I also changed its Identity to NetworkService previously I tried it set to LocalSystem (See image below).
I also made sure the users IUSR and IIS_IUSRS have read, execute and write permissions to the web site directory and sub directories (See images below).
Once this is all done I install the .net core hosting bundle downloaded from .Net Core Hosting Bundle.
And finally in Visual Studio my project is a .net core 2.1 razor page project. When publishing my project I created a profile to publish it with the following settings:
My connection validated just fine so I hit Next and setup the next step with the following settings:
I save the profile then publish it and it works perfectly. If I check the server the files have all been published and seem to be correct. However if I try navigating to the page http://myserver/BlankLabel/ I get a 404 error (see image below). Now if I try navigating to the Default Web Site (http://myserver) that loads up just fine.
I would appreciate any help with this since I am not to experienced with setting this up and surely enough am missing something...

Update #1
I attempted to create a new site under Default Web Sites and just add a plain index.htm page to see if it would load. Once I saw that it was working I published my application into this new site (created a temporary second profile to do this) and tried reloading the page. The outcome of this was that it resulted in the same original error (my index.htm file still remained in the folder along with the published files). I then deleted the published files and reloaded and once again it worked with the index.htm file... Clearly something is going on with the .net core 2.1 project and IIS not liking it...
Update #2
Just thought that I would add that the AspNetCoreModule is loaded and it is also set as the startup (see images below). So i guess it just seconds my previous update...
Update #3
Just adding the web.config file as requested (I also noticed the logs are off i will be setting them to true and see if it gives me any extra info):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\BlankLabel.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>
I suggest to check your published ASP.NET Core web.config file and enable logging by setting stdoutLogEnabled=true.

The new Application Initialization 1.0 is not working for Win 2008 r2, IIS 7.5

I tried using Application Initialization on both Win 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 and Windows 7, IIS 7. Its not working as expected. I downloaded the x64 version.
Source from applicationhost.config:
<applicationPools>
<add name="MyApp" autoStart="true"
startMode="AlwaysRunning"
managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0">
</applicationPools>
<sites>
<site name="Default Web Site" id="1" serverAutoStart="true">
<application path="/MyApp" applicationPool="MyApp"
preloadEnabled="true">
</site>
</sites>
Application web.config file:
<system.webServer>
<applicationInitialization remapManagedRequestsTo="loading.html"
skipManagedModules="true">
<add initializationPage="/default.aspx" />
</applicationInitialization>
</system.webServer>
Its not having any effect. When I restart IIS and loaded the URL in browser (localhost/.../default.aspx) it didnt showed the loading.html page, neither it looks like the appPool is always running\warmed up.
Also, it didnt showed the multiple instances of w3p process. Its not working.
A small video for configuring Application Initialization module on Windows 7, IIS 7 or Windows 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 would be helpful, because maybe I have missed something.
We've found that when it is installed it causes a HTTP 500 error on the first request to the web site when the app pool has been restarted on Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5
Pretty disappointing, I was hoping that this would be a good module to use but it does seem flaky and we've stopped using it
Try this tool:
Application Initialization UI for IIS 7.5
It worked for me (I needed to activate a Web application hosting a WCF service that used net.Tcp, the first call to the service would not activate it since it was not coming on top of the HTTP protocol...so I needed something external to start it up and execute some custom code within App_… event handlers)
I couldn't get it to work either, and my issue was that I was attempting to manually modify "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config" using a 32-bit editor (notepad++ in my case) and it was actually opening "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\inetsrv\Config\applicationHost.config", which doesn't apply to my 64-bit site/pool. A side effect that led me to that conclusion was that the file in notepad++ never matched what I was seeing in the IIS Manager, which led me to find IIS 7.5 applicationHost.config file is not being updated.
Once I opened it using a 64-bit editor (e.g. sublime text 3), I started to see the changes as described in the IIS Manager, and after making the prescribed Application Initialization changes to my application pool and site, everything started to work.
I suspect the UI tool described in an above answer probably worked for others since it runs as a 64 bit application and therefore updates the correct applicationHost.config file.

RIA Services Web.config default configuration

When I install RIA Services with NuGet (Version 4.1.60730), the default Web.config registeres the domain service module under both and .
This works fine with the development server in Visual Studio 2010, but the standard configuration of the full IIS complains about the setting being incorrect for integrated pipeline mode.
Commenting out the registration under system.web fixes the issue there, but then it won't run under the development server.
Is there a configuration that works in both cases? If not, how to go around this problem?
I know I could install RIA Services system-wide, but I'd like to move away from that.
There is an option to disable the complaint about spurious entries in system.web. Put
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
in system.webServer.

404 error with Umbraco directory urls

I'd like to enabled Umbraco directory urls for an Umbraco project I'm working on. I've set the umbracoUseDirectoryUrls config setting to true. Unfortunately I'm now getting 404 errors on all pages without extension (with extension they're still working). Below are the configuration details:
IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 x64
Umbraco version 4.0.1
Application pool is running in .Net 2.0 classic mode
I've added a wildcart script mapping in IIS to aspnet_isapi.dll before the StaticFile handler
The 404 error always originates from the StaticFile handler. I don't understand why it doesn't go through the isapi handler.
Unfortunately I will not be able to upgrade Umbraco, change to integrated mode, or change to .NET 4 at this moment.
tried "republish entire site" after setting the usedirectoryurls to true ? You can find it when right clicking the content node in the content section
It probably had something to do with some other configuration setting. After I started with an original Umbraco web.config I was able to switch to integrated mode, which made everything a lot easier.

ISAPI Extensions on IIS 7.5/Windows 7 (professional)

I need to register a custom isapi extension on my web server, but I can't seem to find the option on my IIS 7.5/Win7 (pro) box.
On IIS 6 it used to be under "Home Directory" -> Configuration -> Wildcard application maps.
How can I achieve the same on IIS 7.5?
