I have a script using AppCreate to create a new application (virtual directory) in IIS 6. To get the script to work in IIS 7 I have to enable IIS 6 compatibility. What is the "right" way to script this in IIS 7 without having to enable a lot of different components that differ from the standard installation?
Seems like AppCmd is what I'm looking for ...

I have an asp.net project and I want to install it on iis in another computer
with windows 7(this computer doesn't contain VS)
what I need to install for upload this web site???
and how I upload this web site in iis7?
Thanks
For hosting application on iis In windows7. Please follow the steps.
Open inetmgr.
Create new appool for your application. The apppool version should be equivalent or greater than the version in which you developed the
application.
Right click on default site and create virtual directory.
Select the apppool you created for the application in dropdown.
Give the physical path of your application and Alas name to call your application from browser.
After that you can configure default document, authentication etc.. based on your need.
Then, browse the application to make sure it works.
I hope your windows 7 has iis installed and asp.net is registered in iis. If not, please install the same and regester iis with aspnet_regiis and a option -i Before start hosting.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis -i
For hosting, vs not needed. Windows 7 comes with .net 4.0 by default.
For more details, please refer iis.net site or msdn site for step by step process with graphical example.
As part of our .NET deployment process we'd like to make a new website on IIS. The idea is to be able to run another set of smoke tests before making a site live - plus being able to immediately roll back to a previous version should something go wrong. We hope to have this all hooked up to Jenkins.
While IIS7 has a comprehensive suite of tools that allows us to throw together and configure a new website via PowerShell, IIS6 shares no such luxury.
While upgrading to IIS7 would obviously solve our issues, our servers currently run on Windows 2003.
Is there a way to do what we want in IIS6? Are we going about the issue the wrong way?
IIS6 configuration is stored in 2 xml files, MetaBase.xml and MSSchema.xml located in %SystemRoot%\System32\Inetsrv.
Check these links about available scripts for managing IIS sites, application pools etc:

Regarding configuration of sites like default page, .NET version etc I couldn't find any script for that on Technet. But if it is in configuration xml, I think you can create some command line tool for that.
I'm writing some http handlers using vs 2010 on a win 7 virtual machine. I have not been able to discover how to configure the mappings for particular extensions and verbs using IIS 7 Express. For example
extension = Foo
Executable = ../aspnet_isapi.dll
Verbs = get, head, post
Does anyone know where I might find that info?
From the FAQ: IIS Express FAQ
Q: Does IIS Express use the same configuration system as IIS 7.x?
A: Yes, IIS Express uses the same applicationhost.config and
web.config files supported by IIS 7.x. The key difference is that with
IIS Express, the configuration is maintained on a per-user basis. In
particular, whereas IIS has a global “applicationhost.config” file,
IIS Express maintains a user-specific “applicationhost.config” file in
the %userprofile%\documents\IISexpress\config” folder. This lets a
standard user run IIS Express and also lets multiple users work on the
same machine independently, without conflicting with each other. Some
settings require Administrator user rights to set and modify (see
question above about running as a standard user).
We have a huge amount of webApplications running on IIS6. Because we want to run an MS MVC2 or MVC3 Webapp we have to use IIS7. Migrating these huge amount of IIS6 webapps is way to time intensive for us.
is it possible to run IIS6 and IIS7 on one machine?
Thanks!
No - it isn't possible to run IIS6 and IIS7 on the same machine.
The version of IIS for a machine is dictated by the operating system and cannot be installed standalone.
For instance, Windows XP shipped with IIS5.1, Windows 2003 shipped with IIS 6.0, Windows 2008 shipped with IIS7.0 and Windows 2008 R2 shipped with IIS7.5.
You can use IIS 7 / 7.5 but just run the application pools in the "classic" pipeline mode, which is the same as running your application in IIS6.
That way you can handle legacy applications and still be free to leverage the advantages of IIS7. Here's an article on the pipeline differences.
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/243/aspnet-integration-with-iis-7/
If you want them all to answer on port 80 you will have to setup some type of proxy to route calls to the correct IIS. Say you let one of them (perhaps IIS) run on port 80, then you need to setup IIS7 to run on another port and intercept calls to the IIS7-app and rewrite them to use another port.
Have you tried running your existing applications in IIS7? They might work?
no it is not possible . why because, just consider an mobile app and if update came means it will replace the older one like same it will get work.
if you need to check both in the sense , just install other version in virtual machine and we can easily see the difference between both
I have an Isapi dll which performs some basic URL rewriting. It works fine on II6. However, now my dev machine has been upgraded to Windows 7, I cannot get it to work under IIS 7
Is there anything special that needs to be done to get this to work?
The website is running the Classic ASP pipeline app pool (although I have tried both)
Any suggestions on how to get this resolved?
thanks a lot
p.s rewriting it as a module/handler is not an option. I only want to know how to get the existing dll to work on IIS 7.
Solved. I am running the 64 bit version of Windows 7 so needed to change one of the options on the app pool "Allow 32-bit applications"
