IIS >=4 (and PWS>=4 on NT workstation) use a thing called the IIS metabase to store the configuration information. For the Windows PHP installer, I wrote a visual basic program to scan the metabase for existing script map nodes, prompt the user for which nodes to add php mapping to, and then adding the script mappings to the selected nodes. It was my first (and hopefully last!) visual basic program, so I won't get any awards for good coding! I've posted the source code and /visual basic workspace files at www.dialsolutions.com/phil/php/iisconfig.zip Feel free to use and modify it. If you come up with a useful generic tool, feel free to offer it back to the PHP community!
