Registering the .WGX extension on IIS7 
Hi !

New to IIS7, but as I decided to try VWG at home, on my Vista machine, IIS7 was the one installed there!

The docs for the registering the .WGX extensions only cover IIS6, as there is a completely different interface for IIS7.

Any hints on how to register on IIS7?

I expect I will go to Default Web Site and add a "Handler mapping". There I have three options of adding: Managed  Handler, Script Map and Module Mapping. That's where I stop :-)

Hi Palli,

We currently don't have Vista workstation installed, but we are going to install one soon... and then we will be able to write-down the procedure.

Regards,
Itzik Spitzen

Re: Registering the .WGX extension on II 
Hi again !

I couldn't resist doing some research myself :-)

The IIS7 interface is quite different, but I think I've figured out a way to do this, which may og may not be the best way to go !

The process is very similar to the IIS6 process but things are called different names and the interface is quite different. The one we are looking for is called "Handler mappings" in IIS7, and then you have 3 options of adding handlers (Managed handler, Script map and Module mapping). I added a Script Map for the *.wgx file extsions, with the same executable as for the .aspx, the rest of things being the same as adding in IIS6 (unchecking the require file to be present etc.).

Adding the VWG Catalog application to IIS7 was a piece of cake after that, except for the fact that it didn't work :-) Just  errors about the config:

Description: This application is running in an application pool that uses the Integrated .NET mode. This is the preferred mode for running ASP.NET applications on the current and future version of IIS.

In this mode, the application should not specify ASP.NET handler mappings in the <system.web>/<httpHandlers> configuration section. Instead, it should use the <system.webServer>/<handlers> configuration section to configure ASP.NET handler mappings. You have the following options:

Anyway, moving the app to the "Classic .NET application pool", via Advanced settins on the app seem to have solved that one.

And, now VWG Catalog app running on my Vista IIS7!

Happy holidays
Palli
