Not sure if it's a path you would consider but I had a situation where I needed to run Cf11 on Red Hat 5.x which is not a supported platform. Upgrading the server wasn't an option at that point in time.
My solution was to create a war file from the installer (can be done on another machine) and deploy it on Tomcat on the Rh server. I then uses mod-jk to hook it into the Apache version (the older Apache version was the actual problem with the Adobe connectors). Given you're on IIS I don't know how you'd connect tomcat but I expect being such a widely used app server there'd be doco on it. You do it at your own risk though, it's an unsupported platform after all. But I'm willing to share what I did on the tomcat side of things if it's any help.
