Right now the WiX custom actions require that the IIS 6 Metabase
Compatibility feature is installed in the Turn Windows Features On Or Off
control panel. Native IIS 7.0 support, without this metabase compatibility
option installed, requires a complete rewrite. You can blame the IIS team
for this.
One note: rollback doesn't work because the backup/restore APIs that WiX
uses were not implemented for IIS 7.0.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX 3.0.x platform support for Win2008 and WinVista
Hello,
We are currently busy with the process of testing/adopting the WiX
technology for
within our deployment strategy. We are working now with version 3.0.2925.
We have constructed a small 'hello world deployment' example where we have a
WinForms app (client msi) as well as a WebService (server msi).
The server msi uses the IIS extension i.e. the <WebVirtualDir
.>/<WebApplication .>
construct in order to get the ASP.NET 2.0 WebService installed on top of
IIS.
So far, the simple example seems to work just fine on the Win XP SP2
platform.
Out of curiousity, I also tried it on my (home) Vista PC where the
client.msi ran through
just fine but the server.msi installation ran into the following error :
Cannot Connect to Internet Information Server (-2147221164)
Obviously, the main difference is IIS5.1 vs IIS7.0 . I was wondering when
the support
for platforms Win Vista & Win 2008 would be included ?
Greetings,
Frank
