We prove configuration results for extremal Type II codes, analogous to the configuration results of Ozeki and of the second author for extremal Type II lattices. Specifically, we show that for $n in {8, 24, 32, 48, 56, 72, 96}$ every extremal Type II code of length $n$ is generated by its codewords of minimal weight. Where Ozeki and Kominers used spherical harmonics and weighted theta functions, we use discrete harmonic polynomials and harmonic weight enumerators. Along we way we introduce $tfrac12$-designs as a discrete analog of Venkovs spherical designs of the same name.
