Think of the scenario where you simply copy files to a server and now need to configure a virtual directory, set permissions, possibly configure a VS.NET solution or configure MSDE to allow access for your application. While all these steps can be easily performed manually, or as part of an installation, some of these steps really should require user approval or interaction. For example, setting directory permissions should not occur automatically. This utility provides an easy to use UI to perform these common tasks interactively or via a simple commandline interface driven through an XML configuration file. The utility allows you to create a configuration file with stock settings that you can ship with your Web files. The configuration then allows your settings to be passed on to the new installation via the configuration utility either via the UI based interface which will be pre-filled with the values, or via the Command Line interface which allows you to apply the settings defined in the Config file.
