Hi Rob, Thanks for the assistance. It appears that I will need to use the XmlConfig to register and unregister the module with IIS at this moment in time. I believe that restarting an application pool can be accomplished via a custom action so that will probably be my approach there as well.
I look forward to future improvements to what appears to be an already great project!!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Regsitering a Managed Module for an IIS 7 Web Site 1. Not sure the IIS CA support managed modules. Today, the IIS CA cover most of IIS6 functionality and maybe one or two additional things in IIS7. More code is needed.<smile/> 2. No, XmlConfig has the means to add, repair, remove values from XML files. 3. Don't think the IIS CA supports that today. Interesting feature to add.
