I’m relatively new to Nant, what i’d like to do is have a task that creates a new Website and AppPool in IIS6
is there a way to do this in Nant?
Essentially the task would need to set all the appropriate properties including the correct version of the .net Framework
Ideally i’d also like to check if the site is already present in IIS.
Have you looked at NantContrib? It might provide some better IIS support without having to write your own task (or shelling out).
It has some IIS specific tasks like iisapppool and mkiisdir.
