How to define a Virtual Directory under IIS through Delphi?

I am installing my delphi application files through InstallSheild. I decided that the web-enabled version of the application (created by ASP) is located in a directory under my application path.

I want to add a virtual directory in IIS that connects to my web-enabled folder. So, my application user might open the browser and use the application through the internet or even his local area net.

again, my question is:
How to define a Virtual Directory under IIS through Delphi? Is there any api function or dll calls?

Regards,
Hamid

OOPS, forgot this:

function GetObject(const Name: string): IDispatch;
var
Moniker: IMoniker;
Eaten: integer;
BindContext: IBindCtx;
Dispatch: IDispatch;
begin
OleCheck(CreateBindCtx(0, BindContext));
OleCheck(MkParseDisplayName(BindContext,
PWideChar(WideString(Name)),
Eaten,
Moniker));
OleCheck(Moniker.BindToObject(BindContext, NIL, IDispatch,
Dispatch));

Result := Dispatch;
end;
