How to create a website installer
Hello,

Is there a sample on how to create an installer that installs a website on IIS?

I need to create an installer that copies the files, create an AppPool, Create a virtual directory, set the right settings and starts the website.

I found a lot of questions in the forum, but very few answers.

Is NSIS capable of creating an installer for this?

Regards,
Johan Visser

NSIS is capable of doing practically anything. The question is, is IIS capable. If you want specific answers on "how to tell IIS to do x or y", you might want to try asking the IIS creators or users. Once you know what to do, THEN you can start figuring out how to do it from NSIS.
