Hello,
I am using V3.0.4116 to build a MSI file and I encountered the issue
when I tried to install a WiX generated MSI that creates a
WebSite/Virtual directory on Vista with SP1. The same MSI file could
successfully be installed on Vista without SP1.
>From the error code E_ACCESSDENIED in the log file, it seems to me
that the issue is related to permissions to execute a custom action.
Based on that, I found two work around for the issue.
The first one is using Msiexec from administrator command prompt.
The second one is modifying the MSI with ORCA. So that 'ConfigureIIs'
custom action is executed in system context by adding
'msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate'.
However, both of them are not practical.
The following is more detail.
First, the following is the snippet from the wxs file.
...
<Component Id="C_VDir"
Guid="{A93949CE-DBD5-408e-825D-FF2595E1B6EE}" DiskId="1"
KeyPath="yes">
<CreateFolder />
<iis:WebVirtualDir Id="VD_WiXWebDeploy" Alias="WiXWebDeploy"
Directory="INSTALLLOCATION" WebSite="InstallToVdir">
<iis:WebApplication Id="WA_WiXWebDeploy" Name="WiXWebDeploy" />
</iis:WebVirtualDir>
</Component>
...
<iis:WebSite Id="InstallToVdir" Description="Default Web Site">
<iis:WebAddress Id="InstallToVDirRootWebAddress" Port="80"/>
</iis:WebSite>
...
And, the following is the snippet from the log file which contains some detail.
...

I removed MSIHANDLE messages from above.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks
