Re: [WiX-users] WebDir element - no longer can contain webapplication?
Thanks for the clarification. I did figure out a way to do this with WiX (in case anybody else stumbles upon this message). By changing the alias to match the correct location of the folder, you can create a virtual directory at this location as well as a web application. I also found documentation at http://www.microsoft.com/mind/1099/inside/inside1099.asp that states: An IIS application is defined as the contents of a virtual directory with execute permissions.
