# Alternative Solution - If iisnode Doesn't Work

## Problem
iisnode keeps giving error 0x00000002 - can't execute Node.js

## Alternative Solutions

### Option 1: PM2 (Process Manager)
Run Node.js as a Windows service using PM2:

```cmd
npm install -g pm2
pm2 start dist/server.js --name pozoapp
pm2 startup
pm2 save
```

Then use IIS as reverse proxy to PM2 (port 3000)

### Option 2: Windows Service (node-windows)
Install Node.js app as Windows service:

```cmd
npm install -g node-windows
```

### Option 3: IIS Reverse Proxy to Node.js
1. Run Node.js on port 3000 separately
2. Use IIS URL Rewrite to proxy requests to Node.js
3. No iisnode needed

### Option 4: Check iisnode Installation
Maybe iisnode isn't installed correctly:
- Reinstall iisnode from: https://github.com/Azure/iisnode/releases
- Make sure it's the correct version (x64 vs x86)
- Restart IIS after installation

## Current Status
- ✅ Node.js works
- ✅ Server file works
- ✅ Permissions set
- ❌ iisnode can't execute Node.js (Error 0x00000002)

## Recommendation
Try PM2 - it's simpler and more reliable than iisnode for Node.js on Windows.
