Installing an IIS 5.1/6.0 ISAPI Filter and a Virtual Directory
Hi,
I attached a code snippet to install a ISAPI Filter and a virtual Directory in the new IIS Metabase Configuration File.
It creates and executes an vbscript with the windows scripting host. (very pedantic, if there is a better solution please let my know)
Details at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...asp?frame=true
My file is a part of a jakarta redirector install script but i think you can easily customize it for your own purposes.

I am not very experienced with nsis ( :eek: pushing and popping :igor: ), so if someone find this code usefull, perhaps he can put it in some generally usable functions and put it to the archive?

greetings
dani

tried this, not quite working...
I also need to install/uninstall an ISAPI filter DLL. I looked at this script and tried it out. It installs the filter correctly, though having to restart w3svc is a bit painful.

Now, the uninstall section looks right. It does remove the filter object and after restarting IIS, this looks right. However, after a re-install of the same, I see two filters in the load list. I'm trying to understand the LoadOrder object, this string removal isn't working.

A script I found here shows the list of filters in the LoadOrder: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr.../i5advb05.mspx

Does anyone have enough vbs experience to help out with this?
