[wix-users] IIS virtual directory validation

[Phill Hogland]

If I am trying to do something which is beyond the scope of using WixIIsExtension to interact with IIS, I have found that using a DTF CA using Microsoft.Web.Administation to be my preferred approach.  Generally I prefer to use wcautil based C++ CAs but this application of a DTF CA has been very handy.

With a custom action.  However, my experience with the WebVirtualDir element is that it will not error out if the VDir already exists.

I have a scenario in which I have to check for existing virtual directory name in IIS. If the virtual directory exists then a message will occur to try another name for virtual directory. How can I achieve this task ?
