IIS, CGI and COM+

[Alexandre]

I have 2 questions :

1-Can Microsoft's IIS 5 run both CGI an ASP scripts on the same server ?

2-Can an CGI script talk to COM+ object ?

Thanx

1. Both IIS and PWS can run CGI Scripts. But in order to run the CGI Scripts
such as PERL, AWK, etc., you need to install the script interpreters. Microsoft
does not provide these interpreters. But whether you use CGI Application
or CGI Script, setting up these web servers is quite a tricky one. If you
have IIS installed, just type http://localhost/iishelp to get more information
on this.

2. If your CGI Script can talk to a COM object, then it should be able to
talk to COM+ object also. As you might be aware, COM+ is a set of component
services that ships with W2K. COM+ combines and enhances all the services
available in COM, DCOM and MTS.
