WiX 3.0 uses the IIS 6 APIs and is thus limited in what IIS 7 features it can modify. WiX 3.5 has the ability to use the IIS 7 APIs directly as well.
For core tasks 3.5 is built on the foundation of 3.0 and you shouldn't have problems, but active development is occurring so you will have to assess the risks yourself. Look to Rob's blog for his evaluations of 3.5's timeline and compare that to your own timelines to help you evaluate those risks. -----Original Message----- From: Amruta Muley (Cognizant Technology Solutions) [mailto:v-amm...@microsoft.com] Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 9:06 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] WIX and IIS 7.5: query Hi, I am using WiX for production deployment of a few of our projects concerned with Microsoft Learning. I had a couple of questions for regarding WiX. 1. Can WiX 3.5 which is in Beta be used for production deployment? Currently I am working with WiX 3.0 and facing some issues like: a. Certificate not getting attached to the https website. I am able to install the cert.But unable to attach cert to website using <CertRef>. I am using IIS 7.5. b. If I have a Default Website running on port 80, any other website I create on port 80 overwrites the DefaultWebSite even if it is stopped. This is not the behavior when we do this manually. Is there a workaround for this? 2. Does WiX 3.0 support all properties for IIS 7.5? There is a property called ManagedPipeline (Classic/Integrated) in IIS 7.5 and I could not find a parallel for the same in WiX 3.0 Appreciate your help.
