Hi,

Install IIS 6.0 as normal.
Open IIS Manager.
Right click "Web Sites" and click Properties.
Select the Service tab
Check "Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode"
Restart IIS.

Note that you cannot have IIS operating in both IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode and
Worker Process Isolation Mode (the default for IIS 6.0). Also consider the
benefits of running in Worker Process Isolation Mode versus IIS 5.0
Isolation Mode. You should only run in IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode until the
webapplications is compatible with IIS 6.0. When they are, change to
Worker Process Isolation Mode.

Worker Process isolation mode is more robust, requires fewer reboots,
restarts failed applications automatically and is more scalable (among
other things).

I encourage you to use this unless the other mode is necessary for the web
application to work.

You can only run IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003, but you can run it in IIS 5
mode. Why does he need 5?

Hi Tom

He has a third party software package that requires IIS 5.0 to operate -
here is a snippet from his email to me:

Hi Ingrid,

This is with reference to the Ticket ID # 13498 as submitted by you.

TrackWeb 7.0.0.1 will run on Windows 2003, but there are certain
configurations that need to be taken care of.

1> You need to run the IIS under IIS 5 mode. For Windows 2003, by default
it runs under IIS 6.
2> You need to allow ISAPI extension from IIS.
3> Also check, that the parent path for the TrackWeb Virtual Directory is
enabled.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Thanks,
