To whom it may concern, I have just upgraded to WiX 3.0.4923 and am witnessing the same issue installing an IIS website on Server 2003. The web site home directory is not populating, even though the directory is specified correctly in the wix script, there are no install errors reported, etc.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The website root appears blank after configuring existent site - another IIS extension bug? Can you open a bug on this issue? I'm a little confused on exactly what is wrong but if you can capture that in the bug that would help us fix it. There was recently a very large change to the CA to better support IIS7 and this could be fallout from that. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Eldredge [mailto:chris.eldre...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 08:58 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The website root appears blank after configuring existent site - another IIS extension bug?
