Setting up Cruise Control .NET 1.5 on Windows 7 + IIS7

I have been setting up a new continuous integration system on my laptop for some of my personal projects and thought it would be a good time to upgrade to Cruise Control 1.5. I came across some issues during the setup so I have put up my notes on the process in case anyone else has the same issues.

My Development Environment
Windows 7 (64-bit)
IIS 7.5
Cruise Control 1.5
Nant 0.86
Visual Studio 2008

Installation Steps
  1. Download the installation package from Sourceforge.net. As of writing this article, the latest version is available here.
  2. Run the installer. This will copy the files you need and create the IIS site/virtual directories needed to access Cruise Control .NET from your browser.
  3. Open your Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (Start -> Run -> inetmgr )
  4. Create a new website point the site to <INSTALL PATH>\webdashboard.
  5. Change the bindings for the new site to a unique port. ( I use port 90 and the CCNET is then accessed via http://localhost:90)
  6. Open the application pool created for this site and change the 'Managed pipeline mode' to 'Integrated'.
  7. Open the services manager (Start -> Run -> services.msc) and start the Cruise Control .NET service.
