Subject: [WiX-users] Problem setting dynamic values for website


Hello,

I am a new wix user and I am creating an installer for a web application. 
One requirement is that the installer should allow the web app to be
installed to any website specified.  In my first iteration of the installer
I am just going to have text boxes that allow for the user to enter IP and
port of their target website..  (Eventually I would like to create a UI
dialog that allows the user to select from a pulldown similar to the VS web
setup project)

In any case Wix is not accepting variables.  Sample A has hardcoded values
and works just fine.  Sample B returns an error during install that it can't
read the IISwebsite table.  Also, I have customized the UI so that those
properties are populated as the default text in my UI text boxes.  I do in
fact see the proper values during the install, however Wix is clearly not
using them.  The intention is that the user could type over the values to
input thier own and install the application anywhere they want.

This could be something very simple that I am missing, but I can't find any
examples anywhere that handle websites in a dynamic fashion.  Can anyone let
me know why sample A works, but sample B does not?

Thanks


Sample A (Works)

    <iis:WebSite Id='BuildAutomationWebSite' Description='BuildAutomation'>
      <iis:WebAddress Id='AllUnassigned' Port="90" IP="*" />
    </iis:WebSite>

Sample B (Does not work)

    <Property Id="WEBSITEIP" Value="*"/>
    <Property Id="WEBSITEPORT" Value="90"/>

    <iis:WebSite Id='BuildAutomationWebSite' Description='BuildAutomation'>
      <iis:WebAddress Id='AllUnassigned' Port="WEBSITEPORT" IP="WEBSITEIP"
/>
    </iis:WebSite>
