Bill,
Install the server normally, but make sure you run the installer in XP-SP3 compatibility mode. Start it up and read the witangoevents.log to ensure that the server is running properly. Now, in IIS 7.5. Open the IIS Manager. You have to make sure that you have the ISAPI module installed, this isn't by default. You should see feature controls for Handler Mappings and ISAPI and CGI Restrictions - if not, use the Windows features to install "ISAPI Extensions" Open the ISAPI and CGI Restrictions (on the server) and add one for Witango - the default path is: C:\Program Files\WitangoServer\5.5\PlugIns\witango55_iis.dll And check the "Allow extension path to execute" option. (I called mine "Witango") Next, open the Handle Mappings (on the website) and add an entry for *.taf for the same path. Now, under the Application pool, click on the default pool and open the advanced settings. Change the parameter "Enable 32-bit applications" to True. (this is probably only necessary if your Windows 7 is 64-bit) Restart the website or IIS and you should be good. I really should've taken better notes when I set this up myself last week. I'm now completely converted over Windows 7 and have both the studio and the server running without any showstoppers (although there are a few annoying interface issues). If this still leaves you hanging, let me know what error you get. Robert PS. If you try to install the studio, again be sure to run the installer in XP-SP3 mode and if you system is like mine, you'll be missing 4 ddls which you'll have to drag over from your old system - if you are running windows 7 64-bit these go in the SYSWOW64 folder, otherwise right into the system32 folder.

I'm trying to get Witango Development Server 5.5.020 running in IIS on a Windows 7 laptop. I have a "Handler Mapping" named Witango, for the 4 Witango file extensions. I have tried in a "Classic mode" application pool named Witango, and in the DefaultAppPool "Integrated" If I put in an ISAPI FILTER pointing to witango55_iis.dll, I get an error 500, Calling GetProcAddress on ISAPI filter "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\scripts\witango55_iis.dll" failed. If I remove the ISAPI FILTER, and just have the Handler Mapping, then it tries to save a TAF file to disk. If I have a MIME type associated with Witango Studio, then it suggests opening the file in Witango Studio. The Witango Service is running, and the witango logs don't show anything unusual. No license errors or anything like that. I'm sure it's something minor, in (this vastly changed since 6.0) IIS 7.5. Thanks for any pointers.
