VBScript/IIS - How do I automatically set ASP.NET version for a particular website

I need to script the creation of app pools and websites on IIS 6.0. I have been able to create these using adsutil.vbs and iisweb.vbs, but don't know how to set the version of ASP.NET for the sites I have just created to 2.0.50727.0.

Ideally I would like to adsutil.vbs to update the metabase. How do I do this?

    You can do this using the aspnet_regiis.exe tool. There is one of these tools per version of ASP.NET installed on the machine. You could shell out to -

    This configures ASP.NET 1.1

    %windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis -s W3SVC/[iisnumber]/ROOT

    This configures ASP.NET 2.0

    %windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -s W3SVC/[iisnumber]/ROOT

    You probably already know this, but if you have multiple 1.1 and 2.0 sites on your machine, just remember to switch the website you're changing ASP.NET versions on to compatible app pool. ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 sites don't mix in the same app pool.
