Re: Deploying IIS 6.0 applciation to IIS 5.0 box.....

Hi, Tam.

You should have no problems, as Lau Lei indicated.

Adding to his comments, I'd also make sure that your development
server running IIS 6.0 is set to IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode.

To configure IIS for IIS 5.0 isolation mode, in the IIS Manager,
expand the local computer, right-click Web Sites, and then click
Properties.

Click the Service tab, select the Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode
check box, and then click OK. To start the WWW service, click Yes.

It will take a few seconds to restart in IIS 5.0 Isolation mode.

That way, you can mimic, very closely, what the expected
results will be when the application runs on W2K/IIS 5.0.

What this means is that your applications will, like they do in IIS 5,

1. have a dependency on Inetinfo.exe.

2. require Read Raw Data Filters

3. require to run under Dllhost.exe

Running in IIS 5.0 Isolation mode will allow you to load test
your application in IIS 6.0 under the similar conditions which it
will run under in IIS 5.0.
