I have upgrade scenario for my system from 2.0 version to 2.1 version. I
have file for example aaa.xml in 2.1 version and no such file in 2.0
version. It lies in independent component i feature Afeature (it was in 2.0
also). During install there are no problems: file installs to the right
location.
Now only IIS6 can be fully configured using WiX 3.0 and WiX 3.5. Do
developers of the WIX plan to make some new code to cover all of the
features of the IIS7?
