I found the following comment in the Wix custom action code (V2) when
it's looking for the relevant web site
// TODO: fix this to look for the description as well (or is address
enough)?
Therefore it uses the first match it finds based on IP and Port (and
header if your using one). Seems to me that it would be better to
include description to allow more exact matching.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creation of Virtual Directory within existing
Website
I have done many experiments trying to get this to work, but keep coming
up with the same problems. I tried creating a dummy component with the
website info and referencing that, same result. I tried actually
nesting underneath a component with the website settings and the
ConfigureIfExists flag set to 'no' and still same result. No matter
what I do, the virtual directory always ends up under the default
stopped website, rather than my started website. It looks like I might
have to whip up a quick VBScript custom action in the mean time to get
this accomplished. I'll go ahead and create a bug for this.

The scenario is that my target machine has two websites as follows:
Default Web Site, IP Address - All Unassigned, Port - 80, Status
(STOPPED)
My Website, IP Address - All Unassigned, Port - 80, Status (STARTED)
Therefore they are identical but the default site is stopped (I know
that the default web site should probably be deleted but this is not
within my control).
I am attempting to create a new virtual directory within My Website and
therefore I reference it as follows:
<!-- Reference to website -->
<WebSite Id='MyWebSite' Description='My Website'>
<WebAddress Id='MyWebsiteAddr' Port='80' />
</WebSite>
The problem I am having is that my virtual is always created within the
default web site. If I change the Port or IP Address of the default web
site then it is created within my website as expected (but this is not
something I can do in production). Therefore the behaviour seems to be
that the website lookup is done using IP Address and Port only (i.e.
Description is ignored), and that the first IIS web site found that
matches will be used (Default Web Site in this case as it is instance
1).
Is there a way to do a more exact match to ensure that my virtual is
always created within the correct website.
As always any feedback would be most appreciated.
One thing I should mention here is that I have only tested this on XP
(using IISAdmin.Net to replicate sites), I have not yet tested on 2003
