Hi Michael...
Would 2 days be long enough to wait for a return ?
I am running this on a Microsoft 2004 VirtualPC running ONLY
windows2000 plus SP3 with IIS5 installed. [I know, I know, SP3.. But
thats our entry level environment that must be used as a starting
point] I am also running this on XP SP2 machines, win2000 SP4 machines
and win2003 server machines. All exhibit this error at some stage or
another.
I have located the problem , well, I have located the where the problem
lies, but not why it happens :
Essentially, we have a script that builds the web site on install. One
of the last things we do is lock down the access rights to the server.
I am doing this using the following command:-
--- cscript.exe _ADSUTILPATH_adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/1/root/MyDir/EnableDirBrowsing "FALSE" >>c:\install.txt --- When the installer gets to this line, it is here that it hangs. At this point, the installation fails. Not only that, but from this point on, no script-based iis admin commands will run (including the example " C:\>cscript.exe C:\inetpub\AdminScripts\mkwebdir.vbs " that is mentioned previously in this thread) This occurs EVEN after you have rebooted the machine. it appears that this command wrecks the whole cscript engine or something. the only way around this is to re-install IIS or wipe the machine and start again from scratch (happily, I'm using virtual PCs mainly in our test labs so thats not too painful). why would setting the EnableDirBrowsing flag to FALSE destroy all subsequent scripts? even after reboot?? Perhaps I have the syntax wrong, but even so I would have hoped an invalid syntax would not result in such a severe error. I am getting around this at present by , er, not changing the DirBrowsing option :) , but I would obviously prefer to be able to do this. Let me know if you have any answers. I am continuing to test this here and hope to post a full example that is easily replicated, so everyone can enjoy the error that I am experiencing.
