My problem is that lured by the simplicity of getting pcgi to work on linux/apache I have promised to port my web app to IIS.

I remember that there used to be several references for getting PCGI to work on IIS, but I can't find any of them now ;(

and the included readme points to http://starship.skyport.net/crew/jbauer/persistcgi/ which is also not very helpful for IIS newbie like me (I have no idea how to make IIS execute the info file using pcgi_wrapper.exe, which I guess is the thing I should do)

Hannu, Amos got pcgi-wrapper.exe successfully working with IIS back in August. I'll let him provide the details, then I'll add them to the pcgi docs. ;-) I think one of the things he did was create a file association, .pcgi extensions to pcgi-wrapper.exe. The pcgifile.py sanity tester should work (works with Win32/Apache) and the pcgitime.py is a good starter example to get pcgi working on NT. Keep in mind that process creation is more expensive on NT vs. Unix. So although it should work for you, it may not sustain heavy loads. Don't tell us you're surprised <wink>.
