[WiX-users] Installing without IIS in spite of optional web application component

[Benjamin Podszun]

Hi there.

I'm trying to create an installer that is divided into 3 features:
"Framework", "Client", "Server". The first one is mandatory (and invisible)
the latter two can be combined or not according to the users choice.
"Server" contains a web application among others, like this:

<iis:WebSite Id='SomeWebSite' Description='A nice description'
Directory='INSTALLLOCATION'>
    <iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80" />
    <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="SomeWebApp" Alias="SomethingHere"
Directory="INSTALLLOCATION">
        <iis:WebApplication Id="SomeWebApp" Name="SomeName" />
        <iis:WebDirProperties Id="SomeDirProps" DefaultDocuments="Some.asmx"
/>
    </iis:WebVirtualDir>
</iis:WebSite>

This is wrapped in a component, which is is componentref'd by the "Server"
feature.

If I try to install on a machine without IIS and deselect everything but
"Client" my installation dies with a fatal error. The progress dialog is at
"Starting IIS Metabase Transaction" and a message box shows "Cannot connect
to the Internet Information Server. (-2147221164       <lotsofspaces>)".

Any help or pointers how to solve this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ben
