Howdy All!

I honestly thought I was done with these type of questions, but… the company tech worker who did all the network / configuration for my software quit and with him several points of knowledge.

Does any one have a MORON PROOF step by step guide to getting an IW ISAPI WIN32 module running under Windows Server 2019 IIS?

Thanks in advance & have a great weekend.

Hi Shane,

I have always used these articles to set up IIS.

I know, they are for older versions, but still apply.

Thanks Paul.

As both of those links are 10+ years old and IIS is a PITA and I am NOT a Windows Server expert, I have decided to allow a third deployment option - HTTP.SYS.

All the best,

Shane

HTTP.sys is way easier... unless you need something in IIS specfically, http.sys is a far better choice. IIS essentially uses http.sys under the hood anyway.

I believe that!

The only reason I switched my main IW app from the self-server to IIS was so that my app could run on the standard HTTPS port 443.... since HTTP.SYS will allow that, it should be win-win for (me)!!

All the best,

Shane

This was created originally for Windows 2008 Server, but there is no significant change other than the layout of some screens. The process was still the same the last time I checked.

This is the most comprehensive ISAPI setup guide that I'm aware of...
