Hello, do you have any examples of CMD line options?
I am attempting the following:
<pathTo>UltiDevCassiniWebServer2.exe /register "C:\CassiniTest" "A4C232D5-5FAE-4A09-9026-937342B72648" "default.aspx" "0" /DontKeepRunning

This always results in an invalid CMD argument message.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Just a quick note that I am able to register the app manually using the console. I did un-register before attempting the CMD method.

When using the CMD method I get a dialog containing the following message:
An error occurred attempting to install UtilDev CassiniWeb Server for Visual Studio 2005 Developers. I an executing this on a VMWare 4.5.2 Windows 2k3 server image.

The install.log contains the following:

I am not using an installer at this time – just trying to perform silent automated installs using the tools provided in your download. The problem was in the original cmd line - thanks again for the direction.

Did I mention how cool your tool is :-)

Sorry for the confusion, I’ll attempt to provide some clarity.

Your main bootstrap is named: UltiDevCassiniWebServer2.exe
The file that registers ASP.Net pages is named UltiDevCassinWebServer2.exe. I was attempting to install Cassini (UltiDevCassiniWebServer2.exe) and register my ASP.Net application in a single process.

I believed this was possible because I missed the fact that the file names were different (UltiDevCassiniWebServer2.exe, UltiDevCassinWebServer2.exe).

The log file I attached was generated using a system policy which captured install information involving UltiDevCassiniWebServer2.exe.

I understand now that this is not possible using your bootstrap. My ultimate goal is to conditionally install Cassini and register ASP.Net applications (including shortcuts) if a target does not contain IIS.

Best regards,
Jerome
