 # This software may be used and distributed according to the terms of the

 #
 # Requirements:
-# - Python 2.6
-# - PyWin32 build 214 or newer
-# - Mercurial installed from source (python setup.py install)
-# - IIS 7
-#
-# Earlier versions will in general work as well, but the PyWin32 version is
-# necessary for win32traceutil to work correctly.
+# - Python 2.7, preferably 64 bit
+# - PyWin32 for Python 2.7 (32 or 64 bit)
+# - Mercurial installed from source (python setup.py install) or download the
+#   python module installer from https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Download
+# - IIS 7 or newer
 #
 #
 # Installation and use:
 #
-# - Download the isapi-wsgi source and run python setup.py install:
-#   http://code.google.com/p/isapi-wsgi/
+# - Download or clone the isapi-wsgi source and run python setup.py install.

+#
+# - Create a directory to hold the shim dll, config files etc. This can reside
+#   inside the standard IIS directory, C:\inetpub, or anywhere else. Copy this
+#   script there.
 #
 # - Run this script (i.e. python hgwebdir_wsgi.py) to get a shim dll. The
 #   shim is identical for all scripts, so you can just copy and rename one
-#   from an earlier run, if you wish.
+#   from an earlier run, if you wish. The shim needs to reside in the same
+#   directory as this script.
+#
+# - Start IIS manager and create a new app pool:
+#   .NET CLR Version: No Managed Code
+#   Advanced Settings: Enable 32 Bit Applications, if using 32 bit Python.
+#   You can adjust the identity and maximum worker processes if you wish. This
+#   setup works fine with multiple worker processes.
 #
-# - Setup an IIS application where your hgwebdir is to be served from.
-#   On 64-bit systems, make sure it's assigned a 32-bit app pool.
+# - Create an IIS application where your hgwebdir is to be served from.
+#   Assign it the app pool you just created and point its physical path to the
+#   directory you created.
+#
+# - In the application, remove all handler mappings and setup a wildcard script
+#   handler mapping of type IsapiModule with the shim dll as its executable.
+#   This file MUST reside in the same directory as the shim. The easiest way
+#   to do all this is to close IIS manager, place a web.config file in your
+#   directory and start IIS manager again. The file should contain:
