Using the IIS 7 API you would do something like this
(http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.applicationHost/sites):
Function CheckWebSiteExists(name)
Set adminManager =
CreateObject("Microsoft.ApplicationHost.WritableAdminManager")
adminManager.CommitPath = "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST"
Set sitesSection =
adminManager.GetAdminSection("system.applicationHost/sites",
"MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST")
Set sitesCollection = sitesSection.Collection
siteElementPos = FindElement(sitesCollection, "site",
Array("name", name))
If (siteElementPos = -1) Then
bSiteFound = False
Else
bSiteFound = True
End If
...
End Function
Function FindElement(collection, elementTagName, valuesToMatch)
Dim i, iVal
Dim elem, prop
Dim matches, value
on error resume next
for i = 0 to cint(collection.Count)
Set elem = collection.Item(i)
if err.number <> 0 then
err.clear
FindElement = -1
Exit Function
end if
if (elem.Name = elementTagName) then
matches = true
for iVal = 0 to ubound(valuesToMatch) step 2
set prop = elem.GetPropertyByName(valuesToMatch(iVal))
value = prop.Value
if (Not IsNull(value)) then
value = cstr(value)
end if
if (value <> valuesToMatch(iVal + 1)) then
matches = false
exit for
end if
next
if (matches) then
FindElement = i
Exit Function
end if
end if
next
FindElement = -1
End Function
Thanks,
Greg

My CA also works fine if I install the IIS6 Compatibility Layer on
Win2008 R2 Server as the old GetObject method uses the Metabase. Was
just hoping to avoid having to install that extra layer. Since we still
have to support 2003 Server right now I need this older method still for
that OS, but had planned on running that only on Win2003 and using some
newer method with Win2008 that didn't require that Compat layer.
Thoughts?

I query the IIS6 Metabase Compatibility layer (the custom action hasn't
been migrated to a pure IIS7 form using ServerManager ) to populate a
ComboBox (which gets queried for the "Default Web Site" if the UI is
suppressed). In UI mode, A dialog box with the contents of the ComboBox
is displayed. The site selected by the user is then used to initialize
a set of website properties (port, certificate, name, description, ip,
header). An additional dialog is then displayed to allow the user to
override the default ports. If the default ports are overridden,
additional custom actions run to update the ports (particularly
net.tcp). In the non UI case, a custom action runs to harvest the UPN
username and password off selected AppPools on the "Default Web Site".
Both this CA and the binding (port) CA's use the IIS7 ServerManager
class.

Subject: [WiX-users] Validating Web site in IIS7 - WiX 3.5
Trying to figure out the right approach to validate that a Web site
already exists during my install. In IIS6 I used
GetObject("IIS://localhost/w3svc") and queried that for the info the
user typed in. Any of you that target IIS7+ how are you dealing with
this? I am using a Web site locator for an existing Web site rather than
creating my own Web site. I'd probably want to do this as a DoAction
during my InstallUISequence.
Suggestions or code snippets would be great!
Thanks
Chad
