ISAPI extensions in IIS Express?

Question

Hi I'd like to run & develop an ISAPI extension in IIS Express 7.5 on a Windows 7 x64 machine. Lets say that I have the ISAPI extension in C:\dev\mywebapp.dll. The dll is 32 bit native DLL written in Delphi. Then I can configure IIS to respond to requests like http://localhost/foo/mywebapp.dll?id=100. Does anyone know if I can use IIS Express 7.5 instead of the fullblown IIS for the same purpose?

I have tried using IIS Express 7.5 but when I go to my http://localhost:8080/mywebapp.dll my browser is asking me to save the dll. I'd like IIS Express to run it as an ISAPI extension like the full IIS would do. Ideas anyone?

TIA,

Johan
