Chris Williams posted a request on his blog (Blogus Maximus) for programmtic creation of virtual directories in IIS 6.0. Some time ago (actually, a long time ago, not even this calendar year), I wrote a small WinForms application in VB.NET to accomplish this very task. The reason for my client's need is that they don't install to the default Web and wanted a simple installation solution without buying an installation product. While researching this I became curious as to writing the code to perform the task and then to embed the utility in an installation package. Read the article to learn how the utility works. As always, your feedback is appreciated.
