Try your installer with release 3309.

Hi All,
I am new to WIX and am trying to install basic website but am running into
issues. When I try installing the website I get the following error:
Failed to read IIsWebs table. (-2147024774 )
Here is the code and settings I currently have:
1. Snippet of code from Wix:
...
<Component Id="TestWebSite_Install"
Guid="896d5f1f-eb73-461c-9fee-43c99577eb26">
<WebSite Id="TestWebSite" Description="Test Web Site"
Directory="WEBSITEDIR">
<WebAddress Id="TestWebSiteAddress" IP="*" Port="80" />
</WebSite>
</Component>
...
2. There are other websites installed on Port 80 but with different
Headers.
3. There is NO "Test Web Site" that already exists
4. When I specify IP="All Unassigned" OR Port=<Port# different from
80> OR Header="localhost" I get the same error.
So far I have only gotten the website to install successfully when I have
already manually preinstalled a website called "Test Web Site" but even
with this I ran into issues:
1. I tried changing the port number to this preinstalled website from
80 to 81 and my MSI installed without errors and changed the port back from
81 to 80. Although this worked, it did not work when this site was
preinstalled on port 80 and my MSI had port 81. When I tried this I still
received the same error as above.
2. When I added Header="localhost" to the Website attribute in my
code, the MSI actually overrode a preexisting website that was installed
with a Header="localhost". Even when I changed my preinstalled website
named "Test Web Site" to have a Header="localhost" when I tried my MSI it
would override a different preexisting website.
My goal is to have it so that I do NOT need to manually install a "Test Web
Site" website before I run the MSI. If anybody could help me with this
problem or give insight on why I am having these issues, it would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!
