In a previous
post I was bemoaning the fact that httpcfg.exe does not
ship with Vista or the WinFX SDK. This then sent me on a quest to find
a copy.
After searching the web a bit I discovered it was on the
Windows Server 2003 CD - ah don't have one of those to hand. Back to
the drawing board
Ahh good news - you can build it from source as it comes with
the Platform SDK. Serveral hours later and one Platform SDK installed,
can I find the source? No. Back to the drawing board.
More searching revealed it was part of the XP SP2 Support
Tools - now thats more like it. So I downloaded them and they refused
to install on Vista (not XP they claimed). So I set the compatibility
to XP for the executable and it still didn't work. Back to the drawing
board.
Finally I rummaged through some old Yukon tech preview CDs I
had and came across a Win2003 evaluation disk. On here was the support
tools MSI which thankfully installed without checking it was installing
on Windows 2003.
So now I am running as non-admin self-hosting services
with HTTP endpoints quite happily.
