Can't find the include files for classic asp site

I'm having problems with an old classic asp site that I'm trying to get set up in a dev environment. I get the following error at the line for the include files.

An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator.

If you are the system administrator please click here to find out more about this error.

Here's my setup:

Many of the pages work, I can log in, click on a link to a feedback form, but eventually I get the above error.

My feedback form is located at "C:\Projects\uk_CP\uk_Au\au\feedbackform_admin\dataview_master.asp" It has two include files:

<!--#include file="../inc/adovbs.inc" -->
<!--#include file="../inc/incCreateConn.asp" -->

this are correctly located in "C:\Projects\uk_CP\uk_Au\au\inc\"

Is perhaps my IIS configured incorrectly that throws off my working directory? Is there a useful way to troubleshoot the path it's looking at? I haven't work in classic asp in 10 years and it is not something I want to become an expert in, but I do need to get this figured out and I've killed too much time as it is.

Obviously this is an issue with my setup since it does work in production...

In your ASP-configuration you must enable the setting 'Allow parent paths'
