Short answer is no, if you want to simply contol x10 from iis web page
there
may be simpler options. Anyone know of any?

Long answer is yes...

We have a generic xpl_asp.dll for sending xpl messages from IIS
http://www.xplhal.com/xpl/xPLASPSend.zip

Need to copy the xPL_ASP.dll to c:\program files\common files\microsoft
shared\web server extensions\50\isapi

>From a dos prompt in same folder type regsvr32 xpl_asp.dll to register
the
dll

See the readme.txt on how to use it in a web page

Combine this with an xpl hub and xpl x10 app and you should be able to do
what you need (as you don't want to install other stuff you may need to
tweak the xpl x10 app config as without configuration by xplhal it may not
work without convincing it it has been configured)

Regards
Tony
