how to pass parameters to iisext containing quotes (W2003)?

External Since: Feb 05, 2004 Posts: 5

I am doing the following on a Windows 2003 server.
I am trying to set up a web service extension through the use of
iisext.vbs. I need to add the following as a new extension:
c:\programs\python23\python.exe "%s"
Please note the quotes around %s.

To do this I tried the following (on one line):
cscript.exe %systemroot%\system32\iisext.vbs
"c:\programs\python23\python.exe ""%s""" 1 PythonScript 1 PythonScript

It executes fine but the quotes get stripped off so the net result is
that I get ...\python.exe %s
which does not work.

How can I make sure that the quotes stay in place when I execute the
script?

Hi,

Try double apostrophes ('s)
