Hi all,
I wrote a WiX 3.0 project which set up the IIS as well. However, I found
that it sets the IIS configuration *read* to be disabled and the *execute
permissions* to be 'none'. I need the *read *to be enabled and the* execute
permissions *to be 'script and executable'. So how can I do that?

P.S. If you have profiler on another system, you can run it while the
