You are correct. After further investigation I found this... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/149605
Which shows that the registry key is only valid for IIS 1 and 2 I'm interested in IIS 5 to 7. This information must be stored somewhere, so if anyone knows, please share the info.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detecting Default Web Site Port I'm not sure I'd trust that. I was on XP with IIS 5.1 and I updated the default website using the MMC snapin and I didn't see the registry value change. I usually query the IIS metabase APIs to get configuration information. It would be nice if there was a reliable RegLocator pattern to use but I'm not positive that the IIS team was so friendly. --- On Fri, 9/18/09, Dominique Louis <dominique.lo...@amxeurope.com> wrote: > From: Dominique Louis <dominique.lo...@amxeurope.com> > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detecting Default Web Site Port > To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." > <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Friday, September 18, 2009, 9:48 AM > Never mind, found it at > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceProvider\Serv > iceType\W3SVC\TcpPort > > Used the wrong search criteria in Google. > > Dominique. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dominique Louis [mailto:dominique.lo...@amxeurope.com] > > Sent: 18 September 2009 15:42 > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: [WiX-users] Detecting Default Web Site Port > > Hi all, > I'm trying to create a Virtual Directory under the > Default website, > but I've noticed that if I don't have the right Port > specified the > Virtual Directory is not created.
