Yes I do agree with you. If Microsoft is releasing a product then they have provide a way for developers to Deploy for that product. I filed a bug or feedback complaint for Visual Studio Packages (SQLExpress and NET35SP1) to be included in VS 2010 and they approved saying they will be including in the Visual Studio 2010.
Is there a Feedback Address that we can file a complaint. I am sure Windows 7 is going to have IIS 7 right? If IIS Team wants us to use full features of IIS 7 in Win 7 they have to provide us with the way to deploy.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix for IIS 7 I would greatly appreciate it if more people notified the IIS team that their IIS7 deployment story is unsatisfactory (assuming you agree). They've continued to punt MSI Interop because they do not believe there is enough customer need. Or at least that is one reason I've been given. -----Original Message----- From: Arun Perregatturv [mailto:aperregatt...@napcosecurity.com] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 08:01 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix for IIS 7 Phillip, Thanks for the info. So I can assume that IIS Team works on the other side the world where they don't know the meaning of 'Deployment option for developers or compatibility testing' and know only that it's a part of Windows. Anyways, I will stick with existing setup and use compatibility mode.

You can use IIS 6 compatibility mode and everything works fine. Here is a post from Rob and Neil responding to the very same questions I had over a month ago: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Oh, no, there are no people pointing out how dumb it was for them to create "another installation technology that only covered part of the domain". Feel free to join in the conversation. Every time you see someone talking about MS Deploy for IIS point out how it doesn't integrate into the solution. My hope is eventually the IIS team will take deployment seriously. At this point, I'm personally more interested in creating Extensions to configure Apache than I am IIS. <shrug/> -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 10:19 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: [WiX-users] Wix for IIS 7 Does Wix setup support IIS 7? We are planning to port existing ASP.NET project written in VS setup to Wix in order to get support for Vista and Win 2008, is it worth porting the project to get the support or use IIS6 compatibility mode? Currently, our ASP.NET projects works fine on IIS 6 but it won't install on IIS 7. Please advise.
