Doh! I sent this off list by mistake... so here goes again:
With IIS 6 there's a new OS command (ala vbscript) called iisext that lets
you muck with web service extensions... more or less the same functions as
from the IIS Administration tool under the "Web Service Extensions" folder.
So you can use iisext to enable/disable ASP/ASP.NET (by default these are
disabled).
Invoking the iisext script from a custom action is pretty
straight-forward... here a sample that enables classic ASP:
<CustomAction Id="Enable_ASP_IIS6" Return="check" Script="vbscript">
<![CDATA[
dim s
set s = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
s.Run "cscript.exe ""%windir%\system32\iisext.vbs"" /enext ASP", 0, True
set s = nothing
]]>
</CustomAction>
Here's another sample that enables ASP.NET 2.0 (specifically v2.0.050727):
<CustomAction Id="Enable_ASPNET_IIS6" Return="check" Script="vbscript">
<![CDATA[
dim s
set s = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
s.Run "cscript.exe ""%windir%\system32\iisext.vbs"" /enext ""ASP.NET
v2.0.50727""", 0, True
set s = nothing
]]>
</CustomAction>
Note that invoking the iisext.vbs script via cscript.exe directly avoids a
"this script isn't supported under wscript" error.
Hope this help.
