As for your statement addressing explaining the long hold times (staying with a customer as long as it takes). In all fairness to your other paying customers, IPSwitch should support *one* set of web installation instructions and not spend time working with people who want to run modified/secured environments that require settings not included in the installation instructions. Securing servers is a basic hosting need and it is solely up to the admin of the server to tighten things up as required. You guys aren't IIS gurus - don't waste our support hours trying to be. Most .NET applications are written to run on default IIS installations and the burden of securing the underlying filesystem, impersonating users, etc... etc... are all duties of the system admin.
On many levels I'd agree, however, in this case, the vendor is *requiring* a specific configuration, and depending on certain software. The fact that we can't, say, run Apache, means that they have to support another product only to the degree that their software will work. They need to be able to tell the customer how to setup a system so that they're not liable for anything that may come of using the third-party software. It shouldn't be hard, just a simple set of instructions, but they need to be made available so no harm is done.
