Am looking to web enable some Powershell scripts to ease usability for our dev and prod teams. One of the few ways to do this is to run Powershell ASP. I downloaded a trial copy of Powershell ASP and ran into a few glitches when doing an installation on a laptop running Windows Vista with IIS 7. The following steps were required to get the Demo application pages up and running without any errors.
1. Install IIS component on Windows Vista
2. Edit C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config and change Deny to Allow for the following line
section name=”handlers” overrideModeDefault=”Deny”
3. Run the following command as administrator from the command line
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis.exe -i
2. Edit C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config and change Deny to Allow for the following line
section name=”handlers” overrideModeDefault=”Deny”
3. Run the following command as administrator from the command line
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis.exe -i
The output should be:
Start installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319).
…….
Finished installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319).
4. Install PowerShellASP.EXE
Be sure to leave the checkbox selected to: Create Virtual Folder On Default Web Server
5. Open Start -> Programs -> Powershell ASP v2 -> Demo Pages
6. The run link should now work for any of the Demos
Start installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319).

Had originally received the following error before enabling <section name=”handlers” overrideModeDefault=”Allow” />
There was an error while performing this operation.
Details:
Filename: \\?\C:\Program Files\PowerShellInside\Powershell ASP V2\www\web.config
Line number: 12
Error: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at the parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault=”Deny”), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode=”Deny” or the legacy allowOverride=”false”.
