[WiX-devs] Need help to create a virtual directory

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 17:57:59 -0800

Hi,

 

I am new to the Wix development and trying to develop an MSI. Following are the core functionalities of the MSI.

 

Copy config files to destination directory (webroot)

Copy a .dll file to the destination

Create an app pool

Create a (IIS 6.0) virtual directory under an existing web site’s web directory and point it to the App Pool.

 

Here is a brief structure of IIS Manager.

 

Application Pools

      | AppPool1 (App Pool)

      |AppPool2 (App Pool)

      :

      :

Web Sites

      | Default Website (Web Site)

      | MySite (Web Site)

            | ServiceLibrary (Web Dir)

                  | My Service (Virtual Directory)

 

 

After I run my MSI, It is supposed to create an Application pool with the name “MyAppPool”

Create an virtual directory “My Service” under the preexisting web site “MySite => ServiceLibrary” and set the app pool to “MyAppPool”

 

After I ran this MSI. It is copying the files into right directory (physical) , but creating the Web Directory “ServiceLibrary” under the “Default Web Site” and creating Virtual Directory “My Service” under that.

 

Lets say If I delete the “Default Web Site” and Install it again, It is installing it under another different web site.

 

Please find the attached .xml file for my wxs content. I need to wrap this up ASAP. Please help me to create a virtual directory under right web site.

 

Thanks Inadvance!!!

 

Ravi.
