I'm getting the same error trying to create a new mobile project.
I'm using ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 Enterprise.
Under ArcGIS Server Manager --> Applilcations --> Mobile Projects I select the option "Create Mobile Projects". I fill in the Name --> press Next --> select Add Layer --> Choose a Layer / Mobile Service Layer and press Add. I then navigate to a Map Service on the same server that I've setup and press Add. This when I get a 404: Server Object Extension Not Found message at the bottom of the screen.
The service I'm trying to add contains a single point featureclass from our sde database. The service runs fine. Under the service capabilities I've clicked/enabled all of the capabilities, web access, and operations.
Anyone have any suggestions?
