How to Solve the Issue

If you are still faced with a blank blue page, continue to Modifying IIS Manager settings.
Modifying IIS Manager settings:
We have two IIS modification options available to correct the issue.
Either option will require a restart of the IIS Server.
- Option 1 allows all unlisted file name extensions to load on the IIS server.
- Option 2 is a manual process to add a specific file type needed for GSX Analyzer to load.
Option 1:
- Run inetmgr.exe to open the IIS Manager.
- On the left pane, expand the IIS Server.
- Expand Sites and click the AnalyzerWebSite entry to open its Features page.
- Double-click Request Filtering.
- Right-click in the Request Filtering page and select Edit Feature Settings.
- Click Allow unlisted file name extensions to enable it.
- Click OK.
- On the left pane, click the IIS Server.
- On the right pane, under Actions - Manage Server, click Restart.
- When the restart is complete, close IIS Manager.
- Relaunch your GSX Analyzer website.
Your GSX Analyzer website now loads correctly.
Option 2:
Use this option if your environment does not allow "All unlisted file types" to be enabled.
- Run inetmgr.exe to open the IIS Manager.
- On the left pane click the IIS Server.
- Double-click MIME Types.
