Hi I'm currently trying to create an installer for an ASP .NET 4 application. Using VS2010, WIX 3.5, .NET 4, on Win7 64bit.
The current step I'm stuck on is that I want to display a list of web sites to the user to pick from in a dropdown list. From what I can google (there's a lot of noise!), there is no 'easy/inbuilt' way so I need to make use of a custom action? Given this 'assumption', I came across the following that looked like it should do the job: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1346852/in-wix-how-can-i-select-an-iis-website-by-name However, I currently cannot get this to work with the log indicating the js file is not found: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Custom action EnumerateWebSites script error -2146823279, Microsoft JScript runtime error: '' is undefined Line 1, Column 1, Action ended 11:10:51: EnumerateWebSites. Return value 3." I have added a file called CustomActions.js...I was unsure of the properties to set, but have tried various (atm Build Action: none, Copy to Output Dir: always). My Product.wxs has: <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="EnumerateWebSites" After="CostFinalize" Overridable="yes">NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallUISequence> Then a WebSites.wxs file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <Binary Id="IisScript_CA" SourceFile="CustomActions.js" /> <CustomAction Id="EnumerateWebSites" BinaryKey="IisScript_CA" JScriptCall="EnumerateWebSites_CA" Execute="immediate" Return="check" /> <CustomAction Id="UpdatePropsWithSelectedWebSite" BinaryKey="IisScript_CA" JScriptCall="UpdatePropsWithSelectedWebSite_CA" Execute="immediate" Return="check" /> </Fragment> </Wix> I've tried/questioned the following, but unclear on resolving:- 1. Changing the properties on the file itself (ie build/copy) 2. Including paths before the filename in SourceFile (other examples indicate this should not be needed though?) 3. Questioned whether this is an issue due to building/running on a 64 bit OS and needing to specify Win64="yes" on the CustomAction(s) I'm also really unsure if this approach should be followed anyway as I've read posts/articles that suggest using custom action scripts are bad, and I'm also concerned that I'm missing out a better approach available in 3.5 that's hidden by the 'noise' of previous version posts... Any clarification on this subject would be greatly appreciated!
