I do have an update for you...  I apologize as we have construction  
going on at my home, and my computer has been down, moved, and  
reconnected...  The Final Step is to convert the Physical Directory  
referred to in your log to a virtual directory using the IIS  
extension.  See Step 6 here:

http://blogs.planetsoftware.com.au/paul/archive/2011/02/25/creating-a-web-application-installer-with-wix-3.5-and-visual-yet-again.aspx

and Eric Smith's answer here on StackOverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/624918/using-wix-to-create-an-iis-virtual-directory

The 1st Link provides a thorough example in that the IIS ISAPI is  
verified to be installed before installing the component.  Ignore the  
include directives unless you want to follow the Tutorial all the way  
through.

In Eric's answer, you would want to set the Referenced Website and  
port to the Default Website, and then set the IIS.Component Section to  
the Virtual Directory Pool, that the user chose from  the dropdown box  
in the UI.  Now you understand why I replaced the Code using the API  
Selection Functions as we can Pass the Selected Site to a WiX Property  
and Set the iis:WebVirtualDir Id and the iis:WebApplication Id to  
those properties.
