Hello!
I also have a problem with populating combobox with web sites and later use
selected web site for creating virtual directory.
Should my VB script have two functions: GetWebSites() and
PopulateMSIWebSiteProperties()? Function GetWebSites populates combobox and
function PopulateMSIWebSiteProperties set port property for selected web
site.
Do I need two custom actions to do that?
<Binary Id='website_vbs' SourceFile='WebSite.vbs' />
<CustomAction Id='websites1' BinaryKey='websites_vbs'
VBScriptCall='GetWebSites' />
<CustomAction Id='websites2' BinaryKey='websites_vbs'
VBScriptCall='PopulateMSIWebSiteProperties' />
When should custom action websites2 be called?
How should I set InstallExecuteSequence for these two custom actions?
Regards,
Voranc

To get the installation to work you will need to specify the port aswell.
To do this use a property:
<WebSite Id="DefaultWebSite" Description="[TARGETWEBCOMBO]" >
<WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="[TARGETWEBPORT]" />
</WebSite>
To get the port of the selected site should be easy when you use this:
'===========================================================================
' This function populates the MSI properties of the specified website
'===========================================================================
Function PopulateMSIWebSiteProperties()
Dim oIIS, oSite, r
' allow errors
On Error Resume Next
' instanciate the IIS object
Set oIIS = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC")
' check if an error occurred: if an error occurs pass the error number
back to setup
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to open IIS W3SVC Root object - please ensure that
IIS is running" & vbCrLf & _
" - Error Details: " & Err.Description & " [Number:" &
Hex(Err.Number) & "]", vbCritical, "Error"
PopulateMSIWebSiteProperties = ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE
Exit Function
Else
' iterate through the sites
For Each oSite in oIIS
If oSite.Class = "IIsWebServer" Then
' if the description is the same as the specified
description, get the details
if oSite.ServerComment =
Session.Property("TARGETWEBCOMBO")then
'get the properties of the site
For Each item in oSite.ServerBindings
strServerBinding = item
BindingArray = Split(strServerBinding, ":", -1, 1)
Session.Property("TARGETWEBPORT") =
BindingArray(1)
' only do it for the first serverbinding (there
may
be more than 1)
Exit For
Next
End If
End If
Next
'return success to MSI
PopulateMSIWebSiteProperties = ERROR_SUCCESS
End If
'clean up
Set oIIS = Nothing
End Function
