MCIC for IIS

Previous  Top  Next

To install the MCIC for Windows Internet Information Server (IIS) you need to complete the folowing steps:

Configuring IIS
The MCIC for IIS uses the English (United States) locale. From Windows 2000 service pack 2 and up, IIS can be instructed to always use a specific locale. To instruct IIS to always use the English (United States) locale, double click on the IISlocale.reg file, located on your Server software CD-ROM in the directory \utilities\config_files. Then restart your server for the changes to take effect. Please note that every script that will be executed on IIS after the registry file is used will then use this locale.
