If you remove the @Value in Property[Id="IISROOT"]? -----Original Message----- From: nathan.ba...@l-3com.com [mailto:nathan.ba...@l-3com.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 7:58 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detecting if IIS is installed
Didn't mean to imply in my last message that this problem is resolved. I need a better error to display if IIS is not present on the system. Any more ideas on how to resolve this?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detecting if IIS is installed The error went away right after I installed IIS on the machine. I assumed the #0 reference was there because the registry search failed and the default value of my IISROOT property was '#0'. I would have thought without IIS on the machine thought that the condition would have been caught before the registry search failed. Incidentally, early on I did enable verbose logging, but didn't find a great deal of help there other than a clue that led me to discover that IIS was not installed on the machine on which I was testing the installer (I had assumed it was present).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detecting if IIS is installed You should get a verbose log and see what's going on. Those "network location" messages tend to show up when a property is being used as a directory and not getting initialized properly.

Subject: [WiX-users] Detecting if IIS is installed Greetings, I have been trying to get my WiX installer to detect whether IIS is installed on a target system or not (installer is expected to be used on systems ranging from Windows XP to Windows 7). My problem is that the detection condition does not seem to be working as my installer hangs on the opening splashscreen dialog while calculating available space and then eventually times out with an error saying the Network location #0 could not be reached. It seems that a registry search property I have defined is being executed before the IIS condition check is performed, but I'm not sure. Below are the two WiX fragment files with the relevant code. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get my condition check to occur first so that the installation can be disabled before the cost calculations are performed?
