When we upgraded our servers we moved to IIS 7. For sites which incorporated 3D Vista 360 degree tours this caused a bit of an issue…To get the movie to play certain MIME types need to be configured – and this is how 3D Vista advise on their site :

1 – Go to Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2.- In the tree view to the left of the IIS Manager Window go to “Websites“. Right-button click and select “Properties”
3.- Select the “Http Headers” tab and click on “MIME types” button.

4.- To add a new MIME type click on new in the window that you get.
5.- In the extension field enter the ones that you need to add (with dot included). In the MIME type field enter a description for the extension as described below:

You have to add the following new extensions:
Extension MIME Type

.cfg 3DVista CFG
.skz 3DVista SKZ
.rba 3DVista RBA
.ski 3DVista SKI
.rbv 3DVista RBV
.bra 3DVista BRA
.mp3 MP3

IIS 7 does not accept this format however, stating that MIME types must be input in the format – /

Here is the solution :

.bra application/octet-stream
.cfg text/plain
.mp3 audio/mpeg
.rba application/octet-stream
.rbv application/octet-stream
.ski text/plain
.skz application/octet-stream
