How do I create an IIS application and application pool using InnoSetup script

Question

I'm trying to deploy an ASP.NET application using InnoSetup.

I need to perform the following tasks:

1. Create an IIS application.
2. Create a new IIS application pool and set it's .NET version to 4.
3. Set the application pool of the new application to the new application pool.

I have found a script to create a virtual directory, but I need an application and application pool:

procedure CreateIISVirtualDir();
var
  IIS, WebSite, WebServer, WebRoot, VDir: Variant;
  ErrorCode: Integer;
begin
  { Create the main IIS COM Automation object }

  try
    IIS := CreateOleObject('IISNamespace');
  except
    RaiseException('Please install Microsoft IIS first.'#13#13'(Error ''' + GetExceptionMessage + ''' occurred)');
  end;

  { Connect to the IIS server }

  WebSite := IIS.GetObject('IIsWebService', IISServerName + '/w3svc');
  WebServer := WebSite.GetObject('IIsWebServer', IISServerNumber);
  WebRoot := WebServer.GetObject('IIsWebVirtualDir', 'Root');

  { (Re)create a virtual dir }

  try
    WebRoot.Delete('IIsWebVirtualDir', 'eipwebv4');
    WebRoot.SetInfo();
  except
  end;

  VDir := WebRoot.Create('IIsWebVirtualDir', 'eipwebv4');
  VDir.AccessRead := True;
  VDir.AccessScript := TRUE;
  VDir.AppFriendlyName := 'Easy-IP Web Client';
  VDir.Path := ExpandConstant('{app}');
  try
    VDir.AppPoolId := 'Classic .NET AppPool';
  except
  end;

  VDir.AppCreate(True);
  VDir.SetInfo();
end;

There you go: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/285/provisioning-sample-in-c/

Scroll down Create Application Pool. It will show you how to create the AppPool, Application and VirtualDirectories.
