Is the error message from a dialog that pops up, or the log? Sometimes,
odd installer errors are really something else that's not 100% related
to the error that gets spit out. Or it might result from an earlier
warning that's not displayed. You might produce a log from the
commandline to get more detail:
Msiexec.exe /i yourmsi.msi /l* out.txt
You can then get some context regarding what was going on at the time
the error occurred.

Not off the top of my head. You might try debugging in and seeing what
is exactly going wrong. I'm not currently in a place where I can try an
IIS install.

Thanks for the quick reply Rob. I installed the build 2.0.4611.0 but
seem to getting the same error. Any ideas?

That's a pretty old build. I believe there was a couple bug fixes more
recent than that which may fix the issue you are seeing. Try grabbing a
newer version.

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!
