  Cannot update web.config file in IIS 7.0 programatically Reply Contact Hello, I have a Web Service which I deploy in the IIS using some component from Install Shield. There are few configuration settings which I update using a component within the Web.config file after the installation is done. This works very fine with IIS 6.0, but not with IIS 7.0 in Windows Server 2008 32bit. Please can anyone throw some light on this as I am really stuck badly at this point. Thanks in advance. Regards Shashidhar J K

How do you know it doesn't work?  Error messages, log entries, anything?  Which pipeline, what componet in the web.config, can you change the settings manually? Any information you can provide is far better than just telling us it doesn't work. Jeff Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com

  Re: Cannot update web.config file in IIS 7.0 programatically Reply Contact Hello, We are using Classic  Pipeline mode. We are creating Application Pool and virtual directories using a C# console application. In the web.config we have a section called <appSettings> where we have our Web Service specific values held. These values are updated while the installation by reading from registry through Install Shield. There are no errors are displayed nor logged in the Event Viewer. We are able to update the Web.config file if we can run the component manually.  The updation works fine when we have this web.config file in any other path than C:\Inetpub\wwwroot through the Install Shield. Hope this information will give you a clear picture of the problem we are facing. Hoping for a positive response from you. Thanks and regards Shashidhar J K
