We're seeing regular failures creating IIS virtual directories using
WiXIISExtension (currently on 3.0.4014). Sometimes the virtual directory isn't
created at all, sometimes the folder exists, but the application isn't created,
and sometimes the application is created on a folder in a location other than
that requested, usually down several levels in a nonsensical location.
I can see from the CustomActionData that the arguments are set correctly.
I saw some earlier information that there were difficulties with this in WiX
2.x, and in older versions of 3.x, but that the issues should be resolved in
more current WiX builds.
Occurs:
* Intermittently on a virtual directory created at the root of the
website (60% of the time on some machines)
* Consistently on a virtual directory created under another virtual
directory (sibling is created fine) (100% of the time on some machines, perhaps
75% of the time on other machines) (seems to happen much more frequently during
upgrades, where the original package is uninstalled, then the new package is
installed)
Is anyone else seeing this type of difficulties with current 3.x builds, or
have any pointers for things we could try that might reduce the probability of
encountering this difficulty?
Thanks!
