How did you download IIS6? Microsoft does not offer a downloadable version of IIS6.

I downloaded IIS 6, but now I'm sure where to put it so it shows up in the "Add/Remove Windows Components". Any help?

Also when installing Visual Studio 2008 Express SP1 gacutil gets installed in directory %programfiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin

You're right. It was only included in the V1 and V1.1 framework releases; now it's only included in Visual Studio releases as part of the Microsoft SDK sub-component. (I updated the blog with those details)

For various reasons, the AccessFlags property (and perhaps others) were moved around a bit in IIS7 configuration system.

Did you see the examples that are here: www.iis.net/.../handlers

Part II

Sorry about that - I hit Enter!

The new way to 'find' what I need is <handlers accessPolicy /> ConfigurationSection.ConfigurationSectionWithCollection.HandlersSection.AccessPolicy

I don't understand how to apply this information to a piece of code that will enumerate each setting.

Hi Dave,

My scripts are configuration checkers specific to a particular product install that come back in a GUI format. I am trying to make to upgrade my scripts to be compatible with 2003/2008, 32/64 & IIS 6/7.

While the site must be set to backwards IIS compatability, the IIS 6 WMI backwards compatability is not required nor is it requested. Thus my preference it to upgrade my script to use the new WMI provider for IIS 7. I have manged to upgrade everything else, but this one section and the information on how to aplly a "get" statement as opposed to addElement is scarce to non-existent. I may simply be walking over it in my ignorance. But

How are you trying to upgrade your scripts? Are you trying to use the new WMI provider?

msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa347565.aspx (for general mapping information)

Are you just trying to make the same script work on IIS7? If so, you'd need to install the IIS6 Compatibility components (in your OS setup).

Oh boy.. I'd have to learn a whole new set language/tool that my deadline does not allow for. All I want to do is enumerate the properties that were previously accessible through

string qry = String.Format("SELECT * FROM IIsWebVirtualDirSetting WHERE Name = '{0}/{1}/{2}{3}'", "W3SVC", WID, "ROOT", VDir);

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\MicrosoftIISv2", qry);

Do you know of any other resources? (I also use the WMI code creator. 1.0 - it does not expose the methods to garner this information either.)

Thanks - Carla

Thank you Dave. I will give it a shot now!

Have you tried using Configuration Editor? It is available here www.iis.net/.../AdministrationPack for IIS7 ... and it is built into IIS 7.5 (R2)

It will give you the code to make specific configuration changes via a variety of interfaces. It's very cool.

How do you get to this through WMI or C#? I am upgrading my scripts from IIS6 and am having problems 'getting' (enumerating) these flag settings.

Well, WebPI will install any or all of the components of IIS that came with the operating system, but WebPI will also install some additional items (downloaded) if you select them.

I'd suggest re-launching Web Platform Installer and installing the IIS 7 Manager that way. If you're talking about the IIS7 Remote Manager, then no, it doesn't come with "client" SKU's of Vista or Windows 7 (or any sku of XP/WS2003 for that matter).

If you run into trouble, post details in the forums, so the teams can help you.

Absolutely! This site will tell you all about it. http://php.iis.net/

Not yet ... but perhaps in the future, you'll be able to download a version of IIS for XP ... stay tuned over the coming months.
