Hi, I apologize in advance if its not the right mailing list for this query but I have already tried wix-users but haven't gotten a satisfactory response yet. I'm hoping you folks will be able to help or at least identify the bug in Wix/Windows. Here's my query: I have an installer that creates a virtual directory in IIS. I have created that installer using Wix 2.0.5805.0, which I believe is the latest 2.0 release. The installer (resulting MSI) works fine on XP, 2003 and even on 32-bit Vista and 32-bit Windows Server 2008.
On the UAC enabled OSes (Vista and 2008), I get the "Admin Consent Form" asking for elevation. After I allow the installer to run, the install finishes successfully on the 32-bit OSes but fails with "Error 26002. Failed to read IIsWebs table." on 64-bit Windows Server 2008 (Virtual Machine). I haven't tried 64-bit Vista. Looking at the installation log, I confirmed that the install successfully got past the point where it puts the files in the "Program Files" directory which kind of proves that "elevation" worked. Can someone provide some insight/help into this solving this problem? If you would like me to prepare a small MSI which demonstrates this problem, I can do that as well. PS: We are considering using Wix 3.0 in the near future but this an existing release whose installation I don't want to change too much. I also don't know if Wix 3.0 doesn't have this issue. thanks, Manish.== Manish Kumar mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +1(608)358-5055 ----- Original Message ---- From: Rob Mensching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Manish Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 3:46:12 AM Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Virtual directory creation problems on Windows Server 2008 64-bit The WiX IIS CustomActions on Vista require the Legacy Admin Interface.

I do have the legacy settings enabled. Server Manager > IIS 6 Management Compabitlity > IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility is checked. This is a UAC related problem. If I open a an admin command prompt and fire off the MSI from there, the install works fine (on the same 64-bit machine). Its only the double-click to launch and allow elevation workflow that doesn't work. Also, as I mentioned, this isn't a problem on the 32-bit Vista and Windows Server 2008. thanks, Manish. == Manish Kumar mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +1(608)358-5055 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
