[wasi_shez]

Hi Guys
Any Script or Automated way to deploy VB6.0 DLL into
''Component Services''?

Steps:

1) Stop IIS
2) Shutdown Component Services
3) Deploy dll into COM Services
4) Start Component Services
5) Start IIS

Thanks

The only hitch I can foresee is stopping the component services through a command line. Provided you figure this part out, the rest should be pretty simple:

1. At the start of the installation, stop the IIS as well as the required services using commandline switches (most setup tools should provide this ability)
2. Complete the installation
3. Restart the component services and IIS by running another set of commandline switches

Thanks for your Acknowledgement.

Can you please share the sequence of Command line steps: As i dont know how to Communicate with Component Services through Command Line.

Thanks in Advance.

You will have to search the net to get the command lines for stopping whichever component services you want to start/stop.

For e.g. to stop the IIS, you can use the command "iisreset /stop" at the command line.
