pywin32 + isapi_wsgi fresh install -> 'Invalid Syntax' error

[pyPax]

Hi everyone,

I jsut installed pywin32 and isapi_wsgi on a Windows Server 2008
running IIS7.5 .

When running the test isapi_wsgi.py I'm getting the following error:

PS C:\Users\my_username\Desktop\isapi_wsgi-0.4.2> python .
\isapi_wsgi.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):

pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221020, 'Invalid syntax', None, None)


any idea why this is?

Tried reinstalling Python and all the modules, still returning the
same error.
Server is a clean install of Windows Server 2008 R2 running IIS7.5.

If someone could help that would be amazing.

Isapi_wsgi requires the IIS 6.0 Management Compatability installed. Can you double-check that you have the IIS 6.0 Management Compatability (and possibly the IIS 6.0 WMI Compatibility) installed in your web server role?

Looks like it might be failing on getting the display name of the IIS server while creating the vdir.  What is the name of that server?

Hi thanks Jason! That fixed it!

Now I'm getting 500 Internal Server Error while trying to access /
isapi-wsgi-test/, but I guess it might not have anything to do with my
original error.
