Re: [WiX-users] Need help to create a virtual directory
So if you still want to have sites on the same port you have to give them unique combination (port, IP, host), and probably use a custom action combined with c++ dll or (_vbscript_) to retrieve information from the IIS metadata base at install time. If you know the site / port / IP structure is looked you can hard code the information into the wix code, but this is not very flexible. I use a _vbscript_ (sorry, I know this is kinda outlawed but it works) that retrieves Site names, and based on the selection made during installation, another method retrieves all information underselected site (IP, ports and host). If you then feed this information into you're WixIIS code it should be enough to get it to install correctly.

Re: [WiX-users] Need help to create a virtual directory
Hi All, Excellent information!!! Now I am clear with the issues. I did not find this information in Wix help. Does it make sense to add this info in the help file? This info may be helpful to the learning devs. Thanks a lot for you time and info. Ravi. From rainy Redmond.
