Working great for me. I even nest WebVirtualDir three levels deep in my
project and have not hit a problem yet and no reports from customers.
We've had 5 major upgrades since our product shipped.
You don't mention what it does or doesn't do when you use that element.
Does the MSI not launch? Does it throw an error during run-time? Boes it
finish but the virtual directory is missing? You can imagine how "it
doesn't work" isn't very descriptive of the problem you encounter.
Here's a working code snippet.
<Component Id="VirtualDir2003"
Guid="183C7B2F-3898-4c07-95A7-CA205E8F958F" Permanent="no">

600)]]></Condition>

</WebVirtualDir>
</WebVirtualDir>
</WebVirtualDir>
</Component>

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade no longer work when I use WebVirtualDir
element
I'm not sure if this is a bug if a desired behavior.
There are plenty of reliable examples on how to implement upgrade with
WIX. It worked until I started creating IIS virtual directory. I have
been
scratching my head for a while trying to resolve the problem, and it
turned out that it works if I comment out the WebVirtualDir element,
allowing the install to create a NORMAL directory instead.
Is this a limitation of MSI or the WIX IISExtension, or simply a WIX
bug?
Is someone kind enough to shed a light on this for me?
Thanks.
