again made a futile attempt to establish a QGIS Server on a Windows
Server. This time with a twist, I want to use IIS instead of Apache as web server.
These two posts seem to indicate that this is possible.<span></span></span></p>

descriptions do not work. In many cases, they describe specific paths and files
which may differ from case to case, and thus create errors. It would be better if
someone who really knows could describe what needs to be done in general terms,
rather than “copy these files from here to there”.<span></span></span></p>
