I use AppCmd for IIS Configuration not supported by the Wix IIS Extension. But, I don't build the path to appcmd.exe the way you do. I use a DirectorySearch for it, set a property to the absolute path to appcmd.exe, and I pass that to CAQuietExec. Works great for me.

Subject: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec fails to execute inetsrv\appcmd Hello all, I am executing appcmd command to change the Application pool to Integrated mode using CAQuietExec, it fails with error "Command failed to execute". The command is working fine when I use ExeCommand instead of CAQuiteExec. But ExeCommand displays a command prompt while executing the command. I have followed this article http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/qtexec.htmto execute the command. Here is my code... <CustomAction Id="ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd_SetProperty" Property="ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd" Value=""[SystemFolder]inetsrv\appcmd set apppool /apppool.name:"[APP_POOL_NAME].POOL" /managedPipelineMode:Integrated"" Execute="immediate"/> <CustomAction Id="ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute ="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no"/> I have scheduled ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd_SetProperty custom action after CostInitialize and ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd before InstallFinalize. Here is the installer log generated. MSI (s) (94:DC) [09:58:38:078]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd,,) Action 09:58:38: ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd. MSI (s) (94:DC) [09:58:38:078]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=ConfigureIntegratedAppPoolsCmd,ActionType=1025,Source=BinaryData,Target=CAQuietExec,CustomActionData="C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set apppool /apppool.name:"App Pool.POOL" /managedPipelineMode:Integrated") MSI (s) (94:B0) [09:58:38:125]: Invoking remote custom action.
