If you install the IIS6 Compatibility features then the WiX toolset custom
actions will work. In WiX v3.5, there is native support for IIS7
configuration.

Unfortunately, no. Be a great thing to add to WiX v3.5 where there is more
IIS7 support.

I have a large number of MSIs (think 75+) that are currently deploying to IIS 6
on Windows Server 2003 (32-bit). These MSIs are being built with WIX

I am using preprocessor properties in my WIX project and I assign them
values in msbuild when building the WIX project from the command line .
For example I have the following preprocessor properties:
Var1=$(Var1);Var2=$(Var2)
I assign them values in msbuild in this way: msbuild
/p:Var1="value1"

In IIS 7.0 there is a new option of "Add Managed Handler" under "Handler
Mappings" which allows me to add a MIME Type handler (dll) to point to a MIME
extension.
Is there such an option within WiX that allows me to do this using the IIS
extensions with the 3.0 RTM version?

Whatever techniques you use to prevent requiring reentry of credentials and

Just to be sure that I understood. If my major upgrade removes the

The most bizarre aspect of all this is that I'm *not* installing MSVCP71.DLL.

Thank you for your reply. I saw that web pages earlier and perhaps I
did not look at it closely enough but there are two things that led me
to think that I should use minor upgrades.

The msvcp71.dll is in my registry as shared dll and looks like it is

Normally those are checked by your bootstrapper that sets the REINSTALL and

Question: What use case do you have for using minor upgrades? Is it for
supporting patching?

1. Minor upgrades, by definition, use the ProductCode (produ...@id) of the
already installed package. Major upgrades, by definition, use a different
ProductCode. Definitionally, there is no other difference. The rest is
supporting each of the two different upgrade mechanisms.

With those attributes you told Windows Installer that you care about the
result of running your action, which of course requires that it end, so
Windows Installer waits until the program ends before it exits.
By not setting the Execute attribute you have identified the CustomAction as
