[WiX-users] Stop IIS on uninstall
All How to I ensure that IIS gets stopped on and uninstall. I'm installing a site (web service) and also a windows service. The windows service uses the web service that I installed and the windows service is started on install. When uninstalling, the web services bin directory and its contents are left behind. If I manually stop IIS and then uninstall everything is fine. Can I have the uninstall process stop IIS during uninstalled and if so how do I go about this. Thanks in advance everyone.

[WiX-users] Feature detection
How can I tell what features are being installed. I need to display a form if a certain feature is installed and not display it when its not installed. I have the following feature structure complete level 1 feature1 level 1 feature2 level 1 feature3 level 1 feature4 level 1 By doing this I believe this sets up my typical install to install everything and this works. If i remvoed any of the features it works. So all is well up to this point, but now i want to know for example if feature2 is being installed. How can i determine this? Along the same note, is there a way to use a modified MONDO UI Set with a custom dialog in it that show the dialog when feature2 is installed without having to put conditions in the dialog wxs files. Doing this will break all the other UI install sets. Any help would be greatly appreacited. Thanks Guys & Gals John - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Session.Property(prefix & "IP") = ip
Session.Property(prefix & "HN") = hn

Thus the proper port and IP are substituted based on selection.
I schedule the custom action(s) as immediate on Next push button click
in UI.
You can also try using ("http://"; & hn) to set some property and then
use it in Header attribute of WebAddress to differentiate site 2 in your
example.
Hope this helps.

(other than the default) (by Mark Jones)
Hi!
It seems, WebSites are mapped to by their wwwroot paths.
Try the following (make sure to adapt this to your namings):
QUOTE
UNQUOTE
Pay attention to the presence of "Directory" attribute - this does the
linkage.
Good luck!

Re: [WiX-users] Customizing dialog sets
After doing this, does anything need to be recompiled?

For an example, see the project in the doc/examples/wixui/custom directory." This example doesn't seem to exist, is it missing from the downloads? Is the example available somewhere? It's currently broken, which is why it hasn't been added. It's on my bug list but hasn't come up the priority list yet. All I want to do is remove the License dialog as it is not appropriate for internal releases. Is there an easy way to remove it? What the example shows is copying one of the "set" fragments (e.g., WixUI_InstallDir.wxs) and modifying the properties and adding/removing DialogRefs to point to different dialogs. -- sig://boBhttp://bobs.org Using Tomcat but need to do more?
