I use Installscript projects for my installations of IIS web sites. I use WMI/ADSI to create sites, application pools etc. All works find in IIS 6. In IIS 7 (Windows server 2008), these methods no longer work during installation unless the server has IIS6 Management Compatibility enables and installed on the server. I would prefer not to have that as a requirement. I am willing to update/enhnce my InstallScript for IIS 7 and use the Microsoft.Web.Administration toolset (ServerManager) but I am not sure how I invoke this toolset in an InstallShield script in my project. Here is a snippet of what I use for IIS6. Anyone have an example for IIS 7?
if svIISVer = "6" then svAppPool = "M5WebServices"; set objIIS_Root = CoGetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/AppPools", ""); if (IsObject(objIIS_Root)) then try set objAppPool = objIIS_Root.GetObject("IISApplicationPool", svAppPool); svPoolStatus = TRUE; catch set objAppPool = objIIS_Root.Create("IISApplicationPool", svAppPool); svPoolStatus = FALSE; svLine = "Creating new App Pool"; nResult = WriteLine(nvLogFileHandle, svLine); objAppPool.SetInfo(); endcatch;
if (IsObject(objAppPool)) then // In minutes objAppPool.PeriodicRestartTime = 120; // In number of events objAppPool.PeriodicRestartRequests = 4000; // In bytes objAppPool.PeriodicRestartMemory = 512000; // In bytes objAppPool.PeriodicRestartPrivateMemory = 196608; endif; set objAppPool = NOTHING; set objIIS_Root = NOTHING; endif;
I used the following command from installscript to create website on IIS 7. "AppCmd.exe" "add site /name:\""+szWebsite+"\" /bindings:http/*:"+szTCPPort+":,https/*:"+szSSLPort+": /physicalPath:\""+szWWWRootPath+"\""
