[wix-users] Issue with IIS Application Pool Settings

[Bevan Weiss]

I suspect that this is a deficiency in the IIS Extension from the WiX
Toolset.
You may have to modify the underlying code for the IIS Extension
https://github.com/wixtoolset/Iis.wixext/blob/master/src/wixext/IIsCompiler.cs

I'm sure the WiXToolset project would appreciate any such enhancements that
you would provide.

Your other options are to call some custom actions, or just call iismgr to
do the changes that you want.


Regards,
Bevan
