detect IIS installation

I check for IIS object in a batch file.
First executing the vbs.
Then I check for errorlevel in batch file.
I do not get an errorlevel but a syntax error in XP.

Try writing VBScript code that can handle errors (ON ERROR ... ), especially
for conditions that your code can expect to encounter. IIS is not installed
by default on XP.

You can also passively detect if IIS has been installed (but you have no
idea whether it works or not) by checking the Registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\InetStp . GetObject tells you that IIS is "working"
and thus probably installed.
