IIS and VB6

[Giles]

Is there a way for a VB6 program to access IIS Manager without using
sendkeys? Specifically,I want to be able to:
1. Change the Default Web Site Home Directory to a removable Memory Stick
(e.g. f:\)
2. Set write permission to 2 folders which contain access databases (e.g.
f:\db\ and F:\db2\)
This is so my web site can be demonstrated on (localhost) laptops that don't
have an internet connection, without the (untrained) demonstrator having to
access IIS manager - they just run the exe to set up the machine.

Should have added: Windows XP, IIS 5.1

I don't know. Possibly by WMI ...
You should post to a VB group, .vb.general.discussion, or to the
inetserver.iis group (or both - if you do, please crosspost instead of
multiposting).

Actually one of the best places to get this sort of help is the
m.p.scripting.vbscript group. Present it as VBScript question, the port to
VB6 will be a no brainer.

Using ADSI this code will set the path for the root home directory for the
Default Web Site.

Dim moDir

Set moDir = GetObject("IIS://localhost/w3svc/1/root")

moDir.Path = "f:\"
moDir.SetInfo

It is based on the assumption that the default web site has the identity of
1.

However a the chaps in the VBScript group can probably give a complete WMI
based answer.
