[wix-users] IIS App Pool Properties

[Ven H]

No problem, Chris. Great souls like you have helped me on several
occasions. What I have done is nothing. I am glad it helped you. In my
case, I need to set those properties which are in the Advanced Settings of
Application Pool and are missing from WiX like enable32BitAppOnWin64,
autoStart, loadUserProfile and so on. In my case, I am not sure how to set
these properties.

Regards,
Venkatesh
