Thanks much. I'll give it a try Alexei John

I actually install up to 2 virtual directories on one or two sites per setup (CLIENT and ADMIN below). The series of properties is set as a result of these actions. See below on how I use properties. ia - internet address, ip - internet port, hn - host name. ------------------------------------------------------------- Option Explicit Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0 Const ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE = 1603 Const ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED = 1627 Function ParseClient() ParseClient = ParseSite("CLIENT") End Function Function ParseAdmin() ParseAdmin = ParseSite("ADMIN") End Function Function ParseSite(prefix) Dim objIIS Dim sSite, sBinding, sURL Dim aBinding Dim one, two, ia, ip, hn sSite = Session.Property(prefix & "SITE") Set objIIS = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/" & sSite) If Err.Number <> 0 Then ParseSite = ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE Exit Function End If aBinding = objIIS.ServerBindings If IsArray(aBinding) Then sBinding = aBinding(0) Else sBinding = aBinding End If Set objIIS = Nothing one = Instr(sBinding, ":") two = Instr((one + 1), sBinding, ":") ia = Mid(sBinding, 1, (one - 1)) ip = Mid(sBinding, (one + 1), ((two - one) - 1)) hn = Mid(sBinding, (two + 1)) If ia = "" Then ia = "*" End If Session.Property(prefix & "IA") = ia Session.Property(prefix & "IP") = ip Session.Property(prefix & "HN") = hn ParseSite = ERROR_SUCCESS End Function ---------------------------------------------------------------- Using properties: <WebSite Id="WEB_ADMIN01" Description="Default Admin Site"> <WebAddress Id="WEV_ADMIN04" Port="[ADMINIP]" IP="[ADMINIA]" /> </WebSite> <WebSite Id="WEB_CLIENT01" Description="Default Client Site"> <WebAddress Id="WEV_CLIENT04" Port="[CLIENTIP]" IP="[CLIENTIA]" /> </WebSite> and <WebVirtualDir Id="WEB_ADMIN03" Alias="[ADMINDIR]" Directory="MYDIR" WebSite="WEB_ADMIN01" DirProperties="WEB_DIRPROPS"> <WebApplication Id="WEB_ADMIN02" Name="[ADMINDIR]" AllowSessions="yes" DefaultScript="VBScript" SessionTimeout="20" /> </WebVirtualDir> Thus the proper port and IP are substituted based on selection. I schedule the custom action(s) as immediate on Next push button click in UI. You can also try using ("http://"; & hn) to set some property and then use it in Header attribute of WebAddress to differentiate site 2 in your example. Hope this helps.
