Hello,  
  
I am using Finalbuilder to create a virtual directory which works fine. Is FinalBuilder able to create the virtual directory and configure it as an application without having to manually go into iis and clicking the create button?

Hi Steven,  
  
Assuming you’re using FinalBuilder 5, there should be an option to create a default application for the new virtual directory on the “New Virtual Directory” tab of the Create Virtual Directory action. The options are slightly different between IIS 5 and IIS 6 (you don’t specify which one you are using.)  
  
Or, is there a more advanced feature that you’re missing in the action?  
  
Regards,  
  
Angus
