Okay, yes that was a very basic syntax problem! It works perfectly now, thanks for the help; this will also help for prompting the user for other values. If you don't mind I would like to ask a high level question:
For my next project I am going to have more UI functionality for selecting web sites. I would like to have a pulldown control that scans the target machine for the available web sites and allows the user to select one. The custom functionality would then install the new web app under this site. Does wix already have this functionality or would I have to plug in a custom dll that would talk to IIS?
