server-side-includes

I can't get IIS to respect my SSI directives - it just outputs the #include directive as if it were regular old html.

Here's the relevant data points:

My file with the include directive is called index.html
This is my directive:  (it doesn't work with virtual either.)
The file being requested is in the same directory as the file being #include-ed.
The SSI module is installed.
The SSINC-shtml handler mapping is present and enabled.

I think it might be some sort of permissions issue (read/write/execute), but I don't know where those settings are in IIS 7.5.
