Re: [WiX-users] Virtual Directory not getting converted to Application in IIS.
Hi Carter, Sorry for late reply, was stuck up in some other work. Coming to the topic, actually in the Product.wxs I am using the IIS extension to convert to Virtual Directory and it works fine when we choose the Default Web Site. As I told before I am not able to get the reason why it works perfectly for Default WebSite and is just copying the files to other website physical path when we are choosing a different website. As we can see from the verbose log, physical path and website name all are correct but not getting converted to Virtual Directory. Could you think of any other reason why this might be happening. Please update me as soon as possible. Thank you. Regards Tony Jose On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 11:50 AM, Tony Jose Mampilly kooltonyj...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Carter, Thank you so much for the update.

I apologize as we have construction going on at my home, and my computer has been down, moved, and reconnected... The Final Step is to convert the Physical Directory referred to in your log to a virtual directory using the IIS extension. See Step 6 here: http://blogs.planetsoftware.com.au/paul/archive/2011/02/ 25/creating-a-web-application-installer-with-wix-3.5-and- visual-yet-again.aspx and Eric Smith's answer here on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/624918/using-wix-to- create-an-iis-virtual-directory The 1st Link provides a thorough example in that the IIS ISAPI is verified to be installed before installing the component. Ignore the include directives unless you want to follow the Tutorial all the way through. In Eric's answer, you would want to set the Referenced Website and port to the Default Website, and then set the IIS.Component Section to the Virtual Directory Pool, that the user chose from the dropdown box in the UI. Now you understand why I replaced the Code using the API Selection Functions as we can Pass the Selected Site to a WiX Property and Set the iis:WebVirtualDir Id and the iis:WebApplication Id to those properties. Carter Quoting Tony Jose Mampilly: Hi Carter, Any update on this issue? I found out that INSTALLDIR is coming correctly as required and I think the problem is because the installer simply copies the folder to the INSTALLDIR and not creating a virtual directory only. This is causing the folder to appear under the different website I chose. I am not able to understand why it is not creating virtual directory. It would be of great help if you could help further on this issue because I need it to get resolved very fast. Thanks in advance Regards Tony -- Want excitement?

The BasePath and the Final Path are only Correct when the Default

item in the collection... You must treat the list of sites as a
Collection, therefore before assigning the final path you must iterate
the collection, and return the one the user selected.

Re: [WiX-users] Setting name of reference directory and virtual directory same.
Thank you so much for your help and spending some time for this. The solution you provided works perfectly. It was exactly what I wanted. I had already solved the problem using a custom action, but thank you for providing me a better solution. Rigards Tony On 22 Nov 2013 20:31, Blair Murri os...@live.com wrote: Having thought about this overnight, I had an idea. I haven't tried this, but I believe it should work. Change this line: Property Id=VIRTUALDIR![CDATA[Staffbank]]/Property to these two lines: Property Id=VIRTUALDIR Secure=yes![CDATA[Staffbank]]/Property SetDirectory Id=INSTALLDIR Sequence=execute Value=[IISROOT][VIRTUALDIR]\NOT Installed/Property Let us know if that works or not. BTW, you do know to use virtual machines to test installers, right? You snapshot before you test your installer, so you can revert if the installer doesn't do exactly what you want.

Re: [WiX-users] Directory getting listed in IIS
Thank you for the help. I had hard coded the value of installdir to wwroot. During installation the user is prompted to provide name for virtual directory. If the user provides some other name for virtual directory other than hard coded value for the root directory, then root directory and virtual directory is getting listed in Iis. I dont want this. Is there any way to dynamically set the installdir and set the same name provided by user for installdir?? Any help appreciated.

If so, then it makes sense that it would be listed as one in IIS. Or do you intend for it to be an application in IIS? The WebVirtualDir element has an Alias property for setting the name that will be used in the URL to access the virtual directory, if that's what you mean when you say that you want to change the name. I'm not sure if it can accept a WiX property or not, would have to experiment. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Directory-getting-listed-in-IIS-tp7590793p7590848.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
