Ins & Outs of hostable web core

I started writing an application which uses hostable web core (HWC) functionality of IIS7 and before making it available for download I thought it will be useful to write about HWC in detail. Hostable web core enables processes other than w3wp.exe to load IIS core and do almost everything that a worker process can do. One of these “hostable” solutions is the new IIS7 UI tool. It needs to be able to change the configuration of IIS without affecting itself. So the tool needs to run independent of IIS and HWC gives it exactly that. I have also used it before to find native modules registration information (check it out here).
