Managing Internet Information Services

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

Internet Information Services (IIS) is a Web server developed by Microsoft. It provides a secure platform for building and deploying Web-based applications, managing Web sites, and publishing information to the Internet or an intranet.

The Internet Information Services view in InstallShield enables you to create and manage a new IIS Web site, applications, and virtual directories.

Edition • The Express edition of InstallShield includes support for installing only one Web site per installation.

The following editions of InstallShield support the creation of more than one Web site per installation. These editions also include support for managing IIS application pools and Web service extensions:

In addition, the Premier edition of InstallShield includes an IIS scanner that checks an existing IIS Web site and records data about the settings for the Web site, its virtual directories, its applications, and its application pools. You can import that IIS data into the Internet Information Services view in InstallShield Premier Edition. Once you have imported the IIS data into a project, you can use the Internet Information Services view to make changes to the IIS settings as needed.
