A Web service extension is an IIS feature that extends the basic IIS functionality beyond serving static content. Examples of Web service extensions are active server pages (.asp), ASP.NET, and server-side includes (SSI).

InstallShield lets you add Web service extensions to your installation.

Note • Web service extensions are available only on machines with IIS 6.0 or later installed.

On systems with IIS 7, Web service extensions require that the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility feature be installed. For more information, see Version-Specific Information for IIS Support in InstallShield.

To add a web service extension to your installation:

1. In the View List under Server Configuration, click Internet Information Services.
2. Right-click the Web Service Extensions explorer and click Add Web Service Extension. InstallShield adds a new Web service extension.
3. Rename the new Web service extension item, and configure its settings.
