To install an ISAPI DLL in IIS 6.0, you need to do a little more work than in previous versions of IIS.

You will need to create a new Application Pool to be used for the virtual directory and you will need to add the DLL to your Web Service Extension.

To do both of these you first need to start up the IIS Manager and select the server you will be working on.

Click expand/collapse textCreate a New Application Pool
1.To add the new Application Pool, go to the Application Pool folder. Right click on the right side and select New – Application Pool.
2.Enter a name for your application pool and select use default settings.
3.Click OK to save your new application pool.
4.Right click on your new pool and select Properties. Uncheck the recycle worker process option. You do not want the ISAPI DLL to be recycled while someone is using it, as this may stop them from entering a registration while they are in the middle of entering it. If you would like to recycle the process, make sure it is done at a time when no one will be entering in registrations.

5.Switch to the Performance tab and make sure the maximum number of worker processes is one.

6.Switch to the Identity tab and set the identity to Configurable. Use the IWAM account that defaults in. You should have already given the IWAM account proper access to the folders used by Attendee Online.

7.Apply your changes and close the window. You have now setup your application pool.
8.In the future, when applying updates to the ISAPI DLL you will need to first stop this application pool. To stop the application pool, right click on the new application pool and select Stop. After the update has been applied make sure you restart the application pool.

The last thing you will need to do is to go to the ServerController section in the EplannerReg.ini file and set the ComInitialization item to 0 (none).

Refer to Server Configuration below to learn how to edit the EPlannerReg.ini configuration file.

You may need to restart the website or the IIS Admin service to make sure the changes take effect.
