How do I set up Mercurial and hgweb on IIS?

Question

I\'ve been looking all over for decent instructions on how to get hgweb working on IIS but I haven\'t found much of worth.

There\'s this \"step by step\" on the Merc

Answer 1

It seems since Mercurial 1.5.2 was released, these tutorials don't work exactly right. For one thing, hgwebdir.cgi has been removed, and is now replaced with hgweb.cgi.

The instructions that worked best for me is at eworldui.net:

Those instructions are meant for IIS 7 or greater. If you're setting this up on IIS 6, I wrote up similar instructions geared toward Win2k3 and IIS 6.0:

UPDATE: Shortly after getting this working I learned that BitBucket changed their pricing scheme to offer free, unlimited, private hosting: https://bitbucket.org/. I would've opted for that in a heartbeat when I was originally working on this project.
