I have gone through the steps of enabling static compression for my IIS 6.0 site:

  1. enable it in IIS Manager
  2. enable edit-while-running
  3. add the extensions i need to compress directly to the metabase: js, css
  4. wait for the metabase.xml to update to the latest major history version

It is still not compressing JS and CSS. Is there anyway to enable this without iisreset?
