We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

MORE INFORMATION

To run CGI applications in Internet Information Server (IIS) 3.0 and earlier, "CreateProcessWithNewConsole" was added as a REG_DWORD with a value of "1" to the following registry key: 
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters
