How to create an application in IIS using command line ?

Question

What would be the equivalent, by command line, of the create button in the Home Directory tab in IIS 6.0 ? (Used to create an application on a directory).

Edit : I already know of iidvdir. Unfortunalety, it doesn't seem to work the way I want it to (or I dont use it properly). Let's say that I have a website called Website for witch the root directory is C:\Website. I want to create the application in C:\Website\Application. If i try

iisvdir /create Website Application c:\website\Application

I get the message The virtual directory already exists. What I am doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Command-line Tools Included in IIS. In-particular %SystemRoot%\System32\IIsVdir.vbs.

Answer 2

use IIsVDir.vbs (look in windows\system\32\IIsVDir.vbs)

Answer 3

iisvdir /create Website Application c:\website\Application

It will only works if the directory C:\Website\Application doesn't already exists. If the directory exists, you will get the The virtual directory already exists message.
