I know I have found this info on this site previously, but I can't seem to locate it again now.  I am trying to create a virtual directory with a registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Virtual Roots and was trying to verify that this is the correct registry location to do this.  Seems windows 2000 service pack 2 may not be allowing this any longer and I was just trying to verify that I have the correct registry location.

Also was wondering if anyone has gotten the iisadmin.dll on this site to work in IS 6.3 as this may be another route I can take.  I get an error if I use it and my install shuts down.

I am truly hating trying to create virtual directories on Windows 2000 SP2.  Nothing seems to work the same as it did previously.

Here is what I used for the IisAdmin.dll:

prototype cdecl iisadmin.InstallWebsite ( BYREF  STRING, BYREF STRING );
prototype cdecl iisadmin.RemoveWebsite ( BYREF STRING );

  //............................................................
  // temp ------------------------------------------------------

  UseDLL ( SUPPORTDIR ^ "iisadmin.dll" );
 
  MessageBox ( "Installing Website", INFORMATION );

  nTest = InstallWebsite ( "TestMe", "c:\\Temp" );

  Sprintf ( szValue, "Installed Website nTest = %d", nTest );

  MessageBox ( szValue, INFORMATION );

  MessageBox ( "Removing Website", INFORMATION );

  nTest = RemoveWebsite ( "TestMe" );

  Sprintf ( szValue, "Removed Website nTest = %d", nTest );
 
  MessageBox ( szValue, INFORMATION );

  UnUseDLL ( SUPPORTDIR ^ "iisadmin.dll" );

IS will complain about the literals...  To avoid this, simply replace the "TestMe" or what ever is in quotes with a variable.  It was a 5 minute test for me and I did not want to spend much time on it since I was skeptical about it working.  

This actually worked well for me.  Did you use "cdecl" in your prototype?  That is usually a common issue if your dll just fails.  

Now here is my question...  I don't usually like to include code in my projects if I can't compile it so I can make changes, if needed.  Any tips on compiling this?

Thanx!
