Thanks for the hint, Rob! However, I'm not sure how this type of components fits into multiple instance installations. Are there any possible problems? Could you point me to the docs on this topic or just drop a couple of lines?
Thank you. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:rob.mensch...@microsoft.com] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 5:55 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to switch the Home Directory of aDefault WebSiteon install? You could make the WebSite part of a Component that is permanent. That would leave the WebSite after uninstall. The use case really is around "taking control" of a WebSite when you put it in a Component or "finding an existing" WebSite when not in a Component. Just messing around with someone else's WebSite is not a supported use case. -----Original Message----- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:y...@sitecore.net] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 00:31 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to switch the Home Directory of a Default WebSiteon install? Thanks for reply. But ConfigureIfExists can only be specified if a WebSite is a child of a Component, which is not a desired behavior. The site should neither be installed nor uninstalled, just configured with a new Home Directory. Any other ideas? -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Lew [mailto:j...@liquidmachines.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 6:15 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to switch the Home Directory of a Default Web Siteon install? Hello WiX Community, I'm sorry if this is a well-known thing, just failed to find this out. I'd like to switch the Home Directory of the Default Web Site on install to my INSTALLDIR. Does anyone know how to do this? If I reference the default web site in iis:WebSite element and specify Directory attribute pointing to my INSTALLDIR, nothing happens. No errors and nothing is changed in IIS.
