Before you install
Make sure that the Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed. By default, IIS is not installed in Vista, so you must either use Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off to set it up.
Also, dtSearch Web requires that IIS 6 Management Compatibility be enabled in Turn Windows features on or off:
Installing dtSearch Web
(1) Run dtSearch Web Setup as Administrator. When you install dtSearch Web, note the location where dtisapi6.dll was copied (you may need it in step 4 below).
(2) When dtSearch Web Setup asks if it can register dtSearch Web with Internet Information Services Manager, answer Yes to have dtSearch Web Setup take care of this automatically. If you prefer to register dtSearch Web yourself, please see "Registering dtSearch Web," below.
Creating Indexes
When you create indexes in Windows Vista, the default security settings will not allow these indexes to be searched by dtSearch Web. Therefore, to make these indexes searchable, you can either (a) create the indexes under the wwwroot folder, or (b) change the permissions on the index folders so they are accessible to the internet user running in IIS. If the permissions on your indexes do not allow for access by dtSearch Web, you may see a blank window when you attempt to search.
(1) Open Internet Information Services Manager
(2) Open ISAPI and CGI Restrictions
(3) Click "Add..."
(4) Under ISAPI or CGI path, locate the dtisapi6.dll file under the c:\inetpub folder, and select it.
(5) Under "Description" enter "dtSearch Web"
(6) Click OK.
