QUERY: NSIS vs. IIS

I just started NSIS scripting and manage to build a simple installer with several modules and also checking for .NET version and installing .NET.

Is it possible with NSIS to setup a IIS (Microsoft's Internet Information Services webserver) website, and configure settings for that website?

I saw an example on how to configure and add an IIS virtual directory, so I'm sure theres some IIS access functions.

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

That is fantastic!

Damn, how can one know what properties/members a IIS://LocalHost/W3SVC/1/ROOT object has? The scripts are great for creating a virtual folder, but I also need to set:

0. everything default settings
1. Directory Security (tab), Anonymous access & authentication control, untick allow IIS to control password

2. ASP.NET (tab), version 2.0....
