Two web sites with the same Port:IP:Header is not supported by the
CustomActions today. There is nothing else in the metabase that uniquely
identifies a Web Site (the Description is easily user modifiable so we haven't
used that). So, the CustomActions use what is supposed to be a unique tuple to
find the web site.

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
.
