Hi, I have authored an installation package using Votive in VS2010. The package is supposed to install a web application. On my development machine, which is Windows 7 Ultimate with IIS 7.5.7600.16385, I can install the package properly. However, on our test web server, which is Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5.7600.16385, the installation fails with error 1603. The log contains the following:
MSI (s) (C8:C4) [12:27:08:313]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI8130.tmp, Entrypoint: ConfigureIIs7Exec ConfigureIIs7Exec: Error 0x8007000d: Failed get sites section ConfigureIIs7Exec: Error 0x8007000d: Failed to search for Website MSI (s) (C8:B4) [12:27:08:563]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=WriteIIS7ConfigChanges,Description=Installing Config Keys and Values,) MSI (s) (C8:B4) [12:27:08:563]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=WriteIIS7ConfigChanges,ActionType=11265,Source=BinaryData,Target=**********,CustomActionData=**********) MSI (s) (C8:08) [12:27:08:578]: Invoking remote custom action.

CustomAction WriteIIS7ConfigChanges returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 12:27:08: InstallFinalize. Return value 3. I have tried using packages created with WiX 3.5.2519 and 3.6.2221 but the results are exactly the same. The source is: <iis:WebSite Id="defaultWebSite" Description="Default Web Site" SiteId="1"> <iis:WebAddress Id="defaultBinding" IP="*" Port="*" /> </iis:WebSite> <iis:WebAppPool Id="appPoolDotNet4" Name="ASP.NET v4.0" /> <Component Id="cWebSite" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION" Guid="{4B5325FA-F22B-43C4-A382-75FF8F2E09A7}"> <CreateFolder /> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="vDir" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION" Alias="test" WebSite="defaultWebSite"> <iis:WebApplication Id="webAppTest" Name="test" WebAppPool="appPoolDotNet4" /> </iis:WebVirtualDir> </Component> Has anyone got any suggestions as to why this package will not install on the W2K8 server?
