Fitims: I suspect that your Default Web Site (even though stopped) is configured to use IP: All Unassigned and Port: 80.
Your problem is coming from the way the IIS works (which I don't fully understand). Here is how I think that this really happens. IIS associates Websites to its meta-table as an array. -Usually-, Default Web Site is configured to use "All Unassigned: 80" as its IP: Port combination. This combination is listed in the meta-table as array position [0]. You have created another website (your IntranetSite) with the combination "All Unassigned: 80". I suspect if you look at the IIS meta-table that site would be at some array position >0. As I understand it, the IIS rule is that you can have one and only one web site running under IIS under a specific IP / Port / Host Header combination. You have more than one in the IIS meta-table, but only one running. I think that the Windows Installer queries the IIS meta-table for a match (or matches) to the IP / Port / Host Header settings that you would define in your WXS file. In your case, you have more than one record returned from the query, in which case array position [0] (Default Web Site) is the first record and the target of the installation. We get around this problem by creating a dedicated IP address on our servers that are the intended target for our applications. We then have our server team create DNS entries that point to the IP addresses. We give our client applications the DNS entry so that if we have to change IPs or servers, it is just a case of changing the link (not the client app). Hope this helps.
