Post Web Service remotely

[fg005zt]

Hi, How do I post a web service remotely? That is I prompt the user for a URL and then I publish the service with that URL? How can this be done?

Is using managed code a possibility for you? Personally I just create a C# class library, add a web reference and wrap the invocation in a ComVisible class that gets consumed by CoCreateObjectDotNet(). Starting in InstallShield 2009 you can dump the ComVisible and you don't need InstallScript... you just wire the class us as a Managed Code CA type.

If .NET is a no-go for you, I suppose you could checkout this article:

It talks about creating your own SOAP message and posting it to the webserice using VBScript via the Microsoft.XmlHTTP object.

Do you have any sample code of this? Please!
