Getting your XBAP to be hosted in IIS in Vista
Just in case you're trying out the new XBAP model with WPF on Vista and are hitting the same issue as I have with registering the XBAP MIME types, this advice from Jack Davis will help... Thanks Jack!
Under Vista, IIS 6 Scripting Tools are disabled by default and to run
the script to set the MIME types you need to enable this setting. The command script to set the MIME settings is at
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c6e8c2cb-9ba2-4e75-a0
d5-180ec9639433.aspx. Before executing the script, enable II6 Scripting Tools from your Vista desktop:
1. Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel Home (non-Classic View) click System and
Maintenance.
3. Under "System and Maintenance" click Programs, and then in the right
pane under "Programs and Features" click Turn Windows features on or
off.
4. In the "Windows Features" dialog click-expand Internet Information
Services; click-expand Web Management Tools; click-expand IIS 6
Management Compatibility; and then click to enable:
x Web Management Tools
x IIS 6 Management Compatibility
x IIS 6 Management Console
x IIS 6 Scripting Tools
x IIS 6 WMI Compatibility
x IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility
x IIS Management Console
x IIS Management Scripts and Tools
x IIS Management Services
Click OK to enable the selected features.
5. Once the "IIS 6 Scripting Tools" feature has been enabled, click
Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command
Prompt, and then in the pop-up context menu click Run as
Administrator... (click Continue if the "User Account Control"
permissions dialog appears). The command prompt window will now open.
6. In the command prompt window, change the directory (cd) to the folder where you stored the SetMime.vbs script. Once in the correct directory,type the name of the script to execute it
