Create ASP.Net web app with command line

[Mark]

Hello,
I'm trying to install an ASP.Net project using the command line (SDK tools
& perhaps IIS Admin scripts?)

Does anyone know of an automatic, command-line-driven way, to creat the
ASP.Net virtual directory, essentially mimicking whatever VS.Net does when it
creates a web project?

Ideally it would be as simple as "CreateAspWebApp.bat virtualPath
PhysicalPath"

I thought something like:
cd %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
Aspnet_regiis -sn W3SVC/1/ROOT/SampleApp1

would do it, but this requires that I first have a virtual directory. So
then I run this first:
cd C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts
mkwebdir -c localhost -w "Default Web Site" -v
"SampleApp1","C:\Develop\SampleApp1\"

The problem is that I still need to manually go into the IIS GUI console, go
to the web's property page, VirturalDirectory tab, and set its Execute
Permissions = "Scripts Only" (default is none) and click the "Create" button
next to the Application Name textbox.

Thanks,
Mark

You didn't mention whether you're
using IIS 5.x of IIS 6.0, but at this page :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...s/default.mspx

youll find sample scripts to do what
you want to do in both versions.

Hello Juan,
Thanks for the post. I'm using IIS 5.1.
I had checked out that sight before posting here. The closest script I can
see on there is "Create an Application in a Web Directory". That script reads:

strComputer = "LocalHost"
Set objIIS = GetObject _
("IIS://" & strComputer & "/W3SVC/2142295254/root/aspnet_client_folder")
objIIS.AppCreate(False)

The problem is that I don't see where to set the physical directory of the
application source code (such as "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\myApp1").
Any advice?
Thanks,
Mark

In IIS 6, there's %SystemRoot%\System32\IIsVdir.vbs
and %SystemRoot%\System32\IIsWeb.vbs which let
you do it.

I don't know if there's scripts for IIS 5.x which do that.

You could try using System.DirectoryServices.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ryservices.asp

There's an example in C# there.

Hey Juan,
Thanks for the link, I wouldn't have thought of that.
I explored Directory Services, and it seems pretty involved... almost too
involved.
I was hoping that because the problem was so straight-forward, that IIS 5.1
or the .Net SDK would just have a solution to it.

Thanks,
Mark
