Are there any news on this patch? when it will be merged in master?

Hi @pvasilevich,

It won't be merged until we got the confirmation that it is really working. Do you mind to test it?

This specific patch only adds the IIS 10 as accepted on the installer validation.

It is pretty hard to test how Modsecurity is working without ability to install it. I can manually apply MSI transformation, but I guess there will be more chances to find bugs on this platform, if other people will be able to install Modsecurity as well.

I will check basic functionality anyway and report you if there are other issues.

@pvasilevich I wanted to confirm you're running technical preview 3.. is this correct?

[pvasilevich]

Now we are testing on tech preview 4

@pvasilevich A quick way to test the install is to change (temporarily) "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp" from 10 to 8 then after install change back.
