Rob,
I believe so. The way we install our website is we stop the default site
and add our site in a different ID. When we uninstall, we restart the
default site and restore the original metabase configuration before the
install of our product. Wouldn't it make more sense to be able to specify a
site ID for an existing website? A user could just as easily modify the
IP:Port:Header as they could the description. For example our site
*usually* installs to site ID 67 when it is available. So, specifying
either 67 or lm/w3svc/67/ROOT would seem the most reliable as opposed to
description or the ServerBindings property. I haven't looked at the code
but it would seem you are enum'ing the sites until you find the
ServerBindings you are looking for. What if I tell you, hey this is the
site ID I want to use...for installs as well, being able to specify the site
ID would be nice. :-)

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
.
