New virtual directory using command line

How do I go about creating a new virtual directory (or website) using
command line options? I'm trying to make an installscript that can be used
both for IIS 5 and 6. What I need to do is to set up the new virtual virtual
directory, point it to the directory the user chooses during install and
then set up the proper parameters for scripts and executables as well as
users. (The web app also uses an ISAPI web service extension). I've been
fiddling around with the adsutil.vbs script but I can't get it to do what I
want. Every time i try to run:
"adsutil.vbs create w3svc/1/root/NameOfApp "C:\path" it gives me: Error
creating the object ErrNumber: -2147463153 (0x800500F).

I think you need to do:

adsutil.vbs CREATE w3svc/1/root/myVdir "IIsWebVirtualDir"
adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/1/root/myVdir/path c:\path

The first line creates the virtual directory, and the second line sets the
path value (you can then set other values if you want)

Cheers
