[WiX-users] WebVirtualDir question

[Nordvik, Christer]

Hi.   I’ve got a WiX script that installs a webservice to IIS and it works great. The problem occurs when the user specifies a different directory than the standard one (like <drive>:<iisWebRoot>\MyWebservice\v2.0.0_test). Where <drive>:<iisWebRoot>\MyWebservice\v2.0.0 is the standard one   The IIS lists the webservice but the v2.0.0_test folder is not set as an application like it should be. I guess I need to change the alias of the WebVirtualDir element if the user changes destination folder, but I’m not sure where to start. Any hints to get me started would be much appreciated!   … <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">  <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Inet" LongName="[WEBROOT]">   <Directory Id="ROOTDIR" Name="Pros" LongName="MyWebservice">    <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="v2" LongName="v2.0.0"> … <WebVirtualDir Id="TestWebVirtualDir2" Alias="MyWebservice" Directory="ROOTDIR" WebSite="DefaultWebSite" DirProperties="DirProps">   <WebVirtualDir Id="TestWebVirtualDir" Alias="v2.0.0" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION" DirProperties="DirProps">     <WebApplication Id="TestWebApplication" Name="v2.0.0" />   </WebVirtualDir> </WebVirtualDir>  …   -Christer   Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] På vegne av Shmarya Rubenstein Sendt: 1. august 2006 12:42 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopi: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Emne: Re: [WiX-users] ExeCommand custom action   It's a command-line argument... Essentially, I added the cli argument in order to workaround the need for "Working Directory"... After a little more investigation, it seems that a type 50 CA is what I need...  <CustomAction Id='LaunchConfig' Directory ='INSTALLDIR' ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]$(var.projectname).exe' Return='asyncNoWait'/> works great...
