An Experiment in Scotch

This is mostly for my own ref­er­ence but maybe some­one will run across it and it will keep them from hav­ing to rein­stall IIS like I just had to.

Step 1: Fol­low steps 1–5 here pay­ing spe­cific atten­tion to the link in step 2. In step 5, I only did port 80 since I’m not inter­ested in the sam­ples specif­i­cally. I actu­ally have no idea if this is nec­es­sary or not but since it’s cur­rently work­ing, who am I to look a gift horse in the choppers?

Step 2: Fol­low the steps here for man­u­ally set­ting up a vir­tual direc­tory. On the secu­rity por­tions for IIS 7, do steps 1–3, skip 4–9 and just type IIS_USRS in the name field and then do steps 10 and 11.

That should work. I was care­ful to not do any extra­ne­ous free­lanc­ing and fol­lowed the arti­cles pretty well and my ser­vices are up and running.
