I have been trying to figure out how to install and register IIS using an Inno Setup Script, but I have so far been unsuccessful.
I need to create an application, application pool with .Net version 4 and a virtual directory, get the machine's IP and proceed to edit the bindings of the website with this IP.
So far all that works in my install is checking to see if IIS is installed.
If anyone has ever done anything like this before, I would really appreciate if you could share your script.
Thank you.
Go to Menu, Project, then Compile to compile and create the setup file. This will create a complete installer. Run the Setup and your application will be installed correctly. Innosetup offers an awesome alternative to create great looking Installers for free.
Inno Setup is an open source script-driven installation system created in Delphi by Jordan Russell. The Inno Setup Extensions Knowledge Base (ISXKB) aims to support users of this installation system by providing a source of information, code snippets, guide lines, and ready-to-use solutions.
Inno Setup is a free software script-driven installation system created in Delphi by Jordan Russell. The first version was released in 1997.
It defines two languages: English, based on the standard Default. isl file, and Dutch, based on a third-party translation.
Here is my complete code to handle IIS (Internet Information Services) with Inno Setup. It contains:
It has been tested with the following Windows editions: XP Pro SP3 x86, 2003 R2 x86, 2003 R2 x64, Vista Ultimate x64, 7 Home Premium x64, 2008 R2 x64, 2011 x64, 8.1 Pro x86, 10 Pro x64
Everything is done as passive as possible to not break any existing Web-Sites.
Important
This might need the Unicode-Version of Inno-Setup (I'm using 5.5.6(u)). It is also required to force 64-bit mode on x64 machines (otherwise registry and file access will redirect to 32-bit stuff):

.NET 4 Installation
Will install .NET 4.0 for Win XP/2003. .NET 4.6 for Vista/2008 and later. Will do nothing if .NET 4 is already included with the system (Win 8/2012/10). The following files are required and must be included in the setup:
-
