[wix-users] IIS configuration issue

[Phill Hogland]

I have not done what you are asking, but I suspect from the documentation for iis:WebSite (notice the Remarks in the CHM) that the issue is related to the keypath of component in which that code snippet is in.  It sounds to me like you need to put the code that finds the existing WebSite under Product, Fragment, or Module and the elements related to the VirtualDirectory under a different Component.


While this is the correct place to ask user questions for the WixToolset and there are probably others here who may volunteer to help you, there are of course other options so this is not the last option.  One option is to search the old wix-users forum on nabble.com (but I would not post to those discontinued forums)  But they are a great research resource.  A quick search found the following link which seems to address the question you raised (and you may find other posts in that forum).  And there are other sources of assistance like those available at Firegiant.com.

Subject: [wix-users] IIS configuration issue


This forum is my last hope. Kindly help me out. IIS settings aren't working for my installer when uninstalling the product . I have made a installer that searches for default web site and then make an app pool and virtual directory. I have saved the app pool and virtual directory values in registry too. Everything is working fine except that when i uninstall it completes the uninstallation and then when i go to the IIS manager, my Default web site have a red cross icon on it and the virtual directory is also listed in it though it should have been deleted. while clicking the Default Web Site it shoes an error as "The application / does not exist". I am pasting some relevant snippets here. Kindly point out that where i am wrong.
<Fragment>
    <iis:WebSite Id="DefaultWebSite" Description="Default Web Site" SiteId="*">      <iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80"/>    </iis:WebSite>
    <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLFOLDER">      <!-- Configuring app pool -->      <Component Id="WebAppCmp"                 Guid="{79D1CA2C-8D20-4F0B-9AE5-BD6AECBF35E4}"                 KeyPath="yes">         <util:User Id="WebAppPoolUser" CreateUser="no" Name="[WEB_APP_POOL_IDENTITY_NAME]"                          Password="[WEB_APP_POOL_IDENTITY_PWD]" Domain="[WEB_APP_POOL_IDENTITY_DOMAIN]"/>
        <iis:WebAppPool Id="WebAppPool"                        Name="[WEB_APP_NAME]"                        Identity="other"                        User="WebAppPoolUser"                         ManagedRuntimeVersion="v4.0"                        ManagedPipelineMode="integrated"/>
          <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="My.VirtualDir" Alias="[VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL]" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" WebSite="DefaultWebSite">
          <iis:WebDirProperties Id="VirtDirProperties"                                AnonymousAccess="yes"                                BasicAuthentication="no"                                WindowsAuthentication="yes" />
          <iis:WebApplication Id="Application" Name="[VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL]" WebAppPool="WebAppPool"/>
        </iis:WebVirtualDir>        </Component>    </DirectoryRef>  </Fragment>

Above is the code placed in IISConfiguration file.Below i added the component in a feature.
    <Feature Id="IISWebsite" Title="IIS Website" Description="The IIS website and application pool" Level="1">      <ComponentRef Id="WebAppCmp" />    </Feature>
While it works great when i put the below lines inside the mentioned component in IISConfiguration file. But by this it deletes the Default website too which I dont want too. Hide original message
    <iis:WebSite Id="DefaultWebSite" Description="Default Web Site" SiteId="*">      <iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80"/>    </iis:WebSite>
