Install ASP.NET version via MSBUILD

I am trying to create a new website on a remote server via msbuild (I like to call it msdeploy). I've downloaded and used SDC Tasks, MSBuildExtension Tasks, and MSBuildCommunity Tasks, but I just can't figure it out.

I suppose it is WebDirectorySetting (from MSBuild.Community.Tasks.IIS) that is my best bet, but I can't seem to find the filename I want.

I would like to use some kind of MSBuild task to do this, but maybe it just doesn't exist. Custom VBS or WMI is my last resort ...

thank you for your responses. I've played around with both of these suggestions, but neither is "exactly" what I was looking for, even if it gets the job done. I can't see we ever go back to 1.1, so we ended up making it the default, but I still hope there is a magic setting for some task that can do it.



thanks again

in IIS7, you can do it with the MSBuild extension:



<MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Web.Iis7AppPool TaskAction="Create"
              Name="$(AppPool)"
              IdentityType="SpecificUser"                  
              PipelineMode="Integrated"
              ManagedRuntimeVersion="v4.0"
              PoolIdentity="$(UserName)"
              IdentityPassword="$(UserPassword)"

I tried to do the same for a while, but eventually realized that we are mainly using version 2.0 for everything, so I did this by default with aspnet_regiis on the machines I deploy.

If you can run a shell command on the remote server, you can use aspnet_regiis.exe with -sn to register a specific version of asp.net for the application.

Run the aspnet_regiis tool from your msbuild task with the Exec tag. It's not as "clean", but it works.

None of this works just like the following lines:

First, create a website directory:

<WebDirectoryCreate
    ServerName="$(DeployServerName)"        
    VirtualDirectoryName="MyVirualSiteName" />

Second, apply the correct ASP.NET version:

<InstallAspNet 
    Path="W3SVC/1/Root/MyVirualSiteName" 
    Version="Version20" />

Have the best
