IIS 5.1 (default XP) does allow only 1 web site. IIS 6.0 (default for 2003)
allows multiple web sites, which can be created and configured via the
installers.
Assuming that you are using default configurations, Shayla's code snippet
would overwrite the Default Web Site ("All Unassigned" / Port 80) under
either IIS 5.1 or 6.0.
The reasoning relates to IIS (and its API) more than anything else. In the
IIS metadata, web sites have an index key, name, IP address, port, &
optionally, host headers. The entries in IIS are inserted / updated via a
"Get" operation that accepts IP address, Port, and Host Header parameters.
Since "Default Web Site" is created by default under IIS at index position 0
with an IP of "All Unassigned" under Port 80 with no Host Headers, any WiX
(or other IIS API operation) performed with those parameters would be
changing the actual "Default Web Site". The API creates a new web site if
one does not exist under the parameters or updates an existing one that does
("Default Web Site" in this case).
Shayla: Create an additional IP address on the server. Use that IP
specifically on the @Website element. Assuming that you are on 2003 (IIS
6.0), it should create your new site on that IP address and have no effect
on the "Default Web Site".
