Install IIS

Hi,
I have a little problem :roll:

I have written a little installer, which installs a product. What the User have to do, is to install IIS before installing the product, because the product is based on asp.
Now i want to write a little application which installs the IIS. So I thought it could be done with some functions from WinAPI, but i haven't found anything with google. :(
Is it possible to install the IIS with C or with epascal (within Inno Setup)?
So the main problem which is is that the installation should run from Windows 2000 to Windows Vista and 2008 Server :shock:


Hope you could help me...
Cheers Christian.

ASP = server-side? Not meant to be used on the client...

I know....

I should write an Installer for a program, so I chosed Inno Setup. This program needs an IIS, so the User have to install it.
What I want is, to install the IIS automatically. And for this i have nothing found yet.

Cheers Christian

I wouldn't bother. If the program needs IIS and ASP then you should just inform the person that they need a configured and working installation of IIS and ASP.

The person is informed that there is an iis needed.
But it may be easier for this person if it don't know what to do if there is an option which can be activated, which installs the IIS.

And I found a way now to do this. I created a script which creates a file for a unattended Installation.
When the user don't want to install it his- or herself, the option can be activated. The only thing to do is put the Windows Installation CD in the CD Drive.
