[wix-users] IIS / SQL Configuration Wizard Frameworks

Sure, the IIS part is pretty easy.  I've managed to get the customer requirements narrow (standardized) enough to just use the IIS Extension.

It's the SQL that's a bear.  I've implemented a stock/override pattern for the connection string so that's handled.  The final piece is database change management.  I really want to keep all of that out of the installer and not an installer concern.  I'm looking for some frameworks they can build a custom application on top of to handle  initial database provisioning, security,  backup scheduling and  schema migrations to.  I'd like to just put a shortcut to this utility on the desktop (like TFS Admin Console)  and keep the installer as simple as possible.

I use Microsoft.Web.Administration.  I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for.

I'm working on an installer for an IIS/ASP.NET MSSQL application.  Due to the wide number of ways IIS and the datatier could be configured, I was hoping to keep configuration out of the installer.  I like the way Team Foundation Server did it's post installation configuration wizard.  Does anyone know of any open source frameworks or projects to build upon?
