Actually I want it in a component so that Wix takes over all the
remaining web site creation details and removes the web site it the
product is uninstalled. According to the documentation, the CA will take
over the web site and I am making use of this behavior. The one and only
thing my VBS CA does is to create it with the correct site id and the
ConfigureIIS does all the rest.

If anyone is interested, I can publish the VB script to the group.
