When using the Powershell cmdlets for Node on Azure, specifically Add-AzureNodeWebRole, you get the startup task all set up to deploy iisnode to your Azure instance, including an iisnode.msi installer.

What happens when iisnode is updated and you'd like to deploy the new iisnode bits? Do you need to manually go through and add a new .msi to all your roles? If so, where would you get that .msi? I look at the iisnode repo and only see a big .exe installer.

I see many many MSIs: https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/downloads.

Yes, I would think you'll want to update iisnode.msi in your apps if you want to use a newer build.

  • Ah okay. In the SDK they call it iisnode.msi, I'll assume for Azure I would pull down the most recent x64 "core" (rather than full) install. – Glenn Scott Mar 29 '12 at 17:06

Please note that the location of the most recent iisnode MSIs has moved to https://github.com/windowsazure/iisnode/downloads.

  • Renaming iisnode-core-iis7-v0.1.17-x64.msi to iisnode.msi and placing it in the webrole's /bin folder seemed to work. Thanks. – Glenn Scott Apr 03 '12 at 06:54
