check the mime type settings of the server.
some recent microsoft server software does return a 404 if the requested file has an unknown extension for security reasons.
somehow the quys in redmond manage to patch their software in a way, that they leave the security holes open for malicious software, but nonetheless make our life harder in that the non-malicious software stops working...

What they found out is that "Win2k3 IIS 6.0. cct is not a recognized MIME type and it fails"

I think what I'm running into is a new security configuration for IIS server. It seems that if a file is requested which does not have a valid mime-type then it returns a 404. Indeed, if I try to load one of the .cct's directly then it gives me a 404 file not found.

Sounds to me like the only solution is to get the IIS server mime list updated. If you are able to somehow work around this problem, then that will be addressed in the next security patch and you will be blocked again. From what I've read, changing this mime list is not a big deal.
Since this is obviously such a bad thing for Shockwave, one would expect that Macrmedia would pressure Microsoft (is that possible? <g>) to update the mime list on IIS 6. If they have DCR's listed, then CCT's can't increase the security risk, so the omission must be an "oversite".
