Creating an installation with IIS already installed

[Guest PJonDevelopment]

Hi, All...

I'm quite new in nLite and I'm attempting to create an installation with the IIS already installed.

I've checked the tab Components and saw that it has the IIS option to install or not. However, neither options do install IIS, and the "Internet Information Services" pannel in Administrative Tools is not there.

What I'm doing wrong?

By the way I'm not removing anything from the install, I just want the IIS to be installed by default.

in my sif file i add the following to install default ftp pieces only.

[Components]

;Internet Information Services

iis_common=on

iisdbg=off

iis_nntp=off

iis_nntp_docs=off

iis_pwmgr=off

iis_smtp=off

iis_doc=off

iis_ftp=on

iis_htmla=off

iis_inetmgr=on

iis_smtp_docs=off

iis_www=off

PJonDevelopment,

Please look in your WINNT.SIF file (in my AMD64, probably in your i386 folder) and post what is in the [Components] section. Also, please attach (not paste) your LastSession.ini.

Thanks and enjoy, John.

When testing my XP x64 update pack for missing high priority updates, I enable almost all IIS components using iamthesky's method with the following code in WinNT.sif:

[Components]
	iis_asp="On"
	iis_common="On"
	iis_ftp="On"
	iis_inetmgr="On"
	iis_internetdataconnector="On"
	iis_nntp="On"
	iis_serversideincludes="On"
	iis_webdav="On"
	iis_www="On"

5eraph,

I have my Unattended set to "Don't Install" and all of my [Components] section say "Off". Did you set your Unattended to "Install" - what were the [Components]? In any case was IIS available after installation?

Enjoy, John.

I don't use nLite for my unattended settings. I have a tested, fully unattended WinNT.sif file that works for me with nLite and the RVM Integrator. All listed components in my previous post are all I use for testing.

IIS is available after installation, but I don't use it for day to day tasks. For me, IIS is for testing only; I don't need a WWW server, and I use FileZilla for FTP serving duties.

5eraph,

Thanks for your reply. It's beginning to look like we have lost our original questioner. I like learning stuff but also don't use IIS. If he would respond with his WINNT.SIF [Components], we may be able to proceed, otherwise we wait.

Thanks, John.
