That looks like some promising VB. Thanks Greg and John for the quick replies!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Validating Web site in IIS7 - WiX 3.5 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? -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 12:22 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Validating Web site in IIS7 - WiX 3.5 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. -- John Merryweather Cooper Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Premier Tech, Inc.)

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!
