Hi All,

I am trying to create a virtual directory programatically using the =
following code, if works fine, but when I try to create with the same =
name again, I get exception. If I use diffrent names for virtual =
directory no issues, and I am actually deleting that virtual directory =
before creating it again.

here is the code to create virtual directory:
Dim webDir as string =3D "myWeb"
vRoot =3D GetObject("IIS://LocalHost/W3svc/1/Root") '<- "sometimes =
exception here"
Dim vdir =3D vRoot.Create("IIsWebVirtualDir", webDir ) '<- "sometimes =
exception here"
vdir.Path =3D somepath + webFolder ' this is a valid path provided=20
vdir.DefaultDoc =3D "default.aspx"
vdir.AccessSSL =3D True
vdir.SetInfo()
vdir.AppCreate(True)


Can some body help me with this. I am getting random errors in this =
code, when I provide the same virtual directory name,=20
sometimes it gives
1. "Object reference not set to instance of..."=20
2. "Cannot create a file when that file already exists(Exception from =
HRESULT:0x800700B7)"

at statement: vRoot.Create("IIsWebVirtualDir", websiteVirtualDir)

Is there something I am missing here, Any help will be appreciated.=20

Thanks,
Bala

RE: Problem while creating virtual directory programatically.

hi bala,

you can search for file named "iisvdir.vbs" which is script written by
microsoft to enble admins to query/create/delete virtual dir

you can also use it very easily to create the virtual directory easilly.
