[wix-users] IIS App Pool Properties

[Ven H]

For setting Integrated or Classic, I think you can use ManagedPipelineMode
property of WebAppPool element, but again, as per the documentation, this
will work in IIS 7 and above but will be ignored in IIS 6.

Also, in my case, I am thinking of having a config or xml file with those
properties and use a C# Custom Action to apply them on the app pool. Will
it be Ok or is that what you are also suggesting?
