Your IWamAdmin::AppCreate() COM call failed, returning 0x80070057="The parameter is incorrect.". I don't yet know enough about that interface or IIS configuration, for that matter, so I don't know which of the two parameters it didn't like (or if the bad parameter is really some other internal one).
Looking at the source code: unless the CustomActionData stuff got out-of-sync (hard to do) then it is difficult to believe that the fInProc flag could be wrong (it can only be "TRUE" or "FALSE" and BOOLs are defined such that "FALSE" is zero and anything else is "TRUE") so that leads one to suspect that the szMDPath parameter is incorrect (which is "/Root/ROMBSCALLBACK" in your case) which should be "the metabase path to the starting point of the application". IIS gurus on this list: does this look like it could be a correct IIS metabase path to the starting point of Sandeep's application? What should he look for to know what may be going wrong? Given this line: "I created a new website and installed the same msi and it installed correctly.", I suspect some incompatibility between your web application and the existing website you are trying to install it into. It isn't your MSI, it is your web application and your "old" website. -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep Kumar Bushnam (Wipro Ltd.)

But when I install the msi directly instead using octopus I still get the same error. Below error I found from the verbose logs WriteMetabaseChanges: Error 0x80070057: failed to create web application: /Root/ROMBSCALLBACK MSI (c) (A4:90) [22:41:07:112]: Font created.

I created a new website and installed the same msi and it installed correctly. Not sure what is the difference between the old and new website. Any idea where exactly its going wrong. Thanks In Advance, Regards, Sandeep. -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:05:55 -0700 From: "Blair" <os...@live.com> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Failed to create web application.

You received the generic "installation failed" error result. You will need to look at the MSI logging to determine the reason for the error. The "Failed to create web application" message has an error code of 0x80070057="The parameter is incorrect." It would be useful to know of the differences between the 2003 server targeted by Octopus and the one you tested directly, especially as regards any already existing web applications/contents of those applications in IIS. -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep Kumar Bushnam (Wipro Ltd.)

(-2147024809) Hi Team, My MSI creates a virtual directory under a default website and creates a new web application under existing App pool(this case DefaultAppPool). Which is working fine on windows 2003 OS. When I install the same MSI using Microsoft Octopus from Win7 onto windows 2003 server the installer throws below error. [ERROR] ROMDVWEBV01 : Installers\ROMBSCallBack\ROMBSCallBack.msi: Failed to create web application.
