I thought I had the virtual directories working. But I was wrong...Well, it is kind of working but not exactly the way I want it. It is creating virtual directories but I want to create web applications. So here's what I want to do. I have some WCF projects which are part of the install and all of them go into a directory called ABC under Program files folder. Under ABC I have couple of folders which start with XYZ and I want to create web applications pointing to each of those XYZ folders. Example:
Under DefaultWebSite in IIS I want to have web applications like XYZ1 (pointing to the physical path C:\Program Files\ABC\XYZ1), XYZ2 (pointing to the physical path C:\Program Files\ABC\XYZ2), XYZ3 (pointing to the physical path C:\Program Files\ABC\XYZ3). The directory structure under ABC is generated using Heat.exe so I don't know their Ids to use them for each folder. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Create virtual folder for web applications Sounds like you need to verify the value of TARGETVDIR before InstallInitialize. An error custom action conditions with a string search might do it.
