I’ve written an ASP.NET application which runs fine in the IDE/debugger. I decided to publish it on my local web server so users could test it before publishing it on a live server.
To make a long story short, i got it published, but soon was shown the ‘Oxygene is not a supported language’ error in the browser. I did a quick search on this and found several postings saying to put it compiled, and uncheck the ‘updatable’ option. I did this, did a rebuild, and copied up the files again…and I still get this error message?
I found another message about copying the Oxygene DLLs to the server also, but now i’m an exception which appears to be coming from the compiler itself, and not from my code. Here is what it looks like:

Any suggestions as to how to track down this exception?
I’m using version 5.2.37.1071 of Oxygene for .NET in VS 2012 Pro.
My web server is running IIS 6 on Windows server 2003.
Any help appreciated!
