# Honest Answer - iisnode Issue
## Problem
iisnode gives error 0x00000002 even with the simplest possible file. This means **iisnode itself cannot execute Node.js**.
## Root Cause
The iisnode installation or configuration is broken. Even after:
- ✅ Setting all permissions
- ✅ Configuring Node.js path
- ✅ Creating simplest test files
- ✅ Disabling logging
The error persists. This indicates a fundamental issue with iisnode.
## Solutions
### Option 1: Reinstall iisnode (Try This First)
1. Uninstall current iisnode
2. Download fresh from: https://github.com/Azure/iisnode/releases
3. Install correct version (x64 for 64-bit Windows)
4. Restart computer
5. Try again
### Option 2: Use PM2 (Recommended - Easier)
PM2 is simpler and more reliable:
```cmd
npm install -g pm2
cd dist
pm2 start server.cjs --name pozoapp
pm2 startup
pm2 save
```
Then access: `http://localhost:3000`
### Option 3: Run Node.js Separately + IIS Reverse Proxy
1. Run Node.js on port 3000
2. Configure IIS URL Rewrite to proxy to Node.js
3. No iisnode needed
### Option 4: Use IIS Application Request Routing (ARR)
Set up reverse proxy from IIS to Node.js running separately.
## My Recommendation
**Use PM2** - It's:
- ✅ Simpler
- ✅ More reliable
- ✅ Better for Node.js
- ✅ Works on Windows
- ✅ No IIS configuration headaches
## Why iisnode Failed
- Complex setup
- Permission issues
- Configuration problems
- Version compatibility issues
- Windows-specific quirks
PM2 avoids all these issues.
