Hmm, it's working now. I must have wired something up incorrectly.

PS: From Yan Sklyarenko:
I've recently faced this issue myself and here's even an easier work around:
Just place elements for IIsWebSite and IIsWebAddress tables,
and the application pool will be created successfully. So, no need to define a
fake website.

Hey all,
The ConfigurationIIs CA requires one of the following tables in order to run:
(from the source)
IIsWebSite, IIsFilter, IIsProperty, IIsWebServiceExtension
This presents a problem with an MSI needing to only create an app pool since
only the IIsAppPool table gets created.
That a bug?
I don't think the version key that you are using is very reliable, I don't
have it on my machine but I do have the InstallPath.
Msdn states that the reglocator key column is of the type regPath which is
formatted so properties should be usable, but I don't think you can guarantee
the search order
Do it like this. The third version number is different for every "patch
level".

I'm able to copy a file using the custom action, letting the Custom
Action (in this case an .exe) handle the entire process.
I'm still wondering if there's a way to use the Property Id's and
Registry Search to handle this.
What is the best practice for determining an installation path that

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, the windows installer service
already logs during these events and you can write to the log from custom
actions...
All you need to do is pass the /l parameter...

Hi,

What I don't understand, is how to get the file from the binary table.
Could you give me an example?
What means 'if the size of the file allows' ?
Is there a maximum file size for this?
Windows Explorer says the file has 6KB.

Am reading the tramontana tutorial - one of the best online I have to say.
Just need some clarification from WIX practitioners about custom actions (in
C# preferably):
- Can one perform custom actions during and post installation and
uninstallation ?
- I guess custom action post uninstall may not
In .NET you will use a BinaryReader or File.ReadAllBytes, if the
size of the file allows. Does this answer your question?
