Hello, I'm a newbie in Wix.
I have an existing web application for which I try to create an msi file using Wix. the first msi I have produced was based on the sample found at : http://davesquared.blogspot.com/2007/08/example-of-deploying-web-apps-using-wix.html and it worked like a charm ! The msi file has been correctly built and I have installed the application through "double-click". The web application was deployed on IIS without any error. Then I uninstall using the msi file, did a small change in the wix source file, built again, install using double-click : I got the error "Failed to read IIsWebSite table" :( As if the install / uninstall process broke something... I tried aspnet_regiis -u \ aspnet_regiis -i for .NET framework 2.0; removing II6 compatibility features, and installing them again; but it didn't changed anything. Following the post on the forum IIS extension failed on Vista SP1. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=b5927a150805300828h43b2581bqa92119d57c4a2620%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=wix-users I used the console running in administrator mode, and it worked again. I have been able to install / change / uninstall several times. The I tried the following snippet from http://www.strangelights.com/blog/archive/2004/10/08/179.aspx : <iis:WebSite Id="DefaultWebSite" Description="[WEBSITENAME]"> <iis:WebAddress Id="WebsiteIdentity" Port="[WEBSITEPORT]" Header="[WEBSITEHEADER]" IP="[WEBSITEIP]" /> </iis:WebSite> Once again, I got the error message "Failed to read IIsWebSite table" :( I revert back to the previous WebSite tag : <iis:WebSite Id='DefaultWebSite' Description='Default Web Site'> <iis:WebAddress Id='AllUnassigned' Port='80' /> </iis:WebSite> But it has definitely stopped to work :( I would be gratefull if you can help me for solving this issue. Thanks in advance for your feedback Best regards, Christophe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
