I checked the v2 final source and it is also in there, so it should work. I didn't find it in the help file of either release, however.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing without IIS in spite ofoptionalwebapplication component You should set SKIPCONFIGUREIIS property to 1 in order to skip IIS configuration steps. Thus, when your "IIS-related" feature is not selected by user, set the SKIPCONFIGUREIIS property to 1. This will ignore any IIS-related elements in your code. Hope this helps. -- Yan ________________________________ From: Chad Petersen [mailto:chad.peter...@harlandfs.com] Sent: Tue 9/29/2009 20:09 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing without IIS in spite of optionalwebapplication component I ran into the same issue with our installer. If you include an IIS element in the installer it always seems to want to configure it. They way I got around it was to write a VBS script that cracks open the MSI database after it is built and modifies the "ConfigureIIS" action to be Conditioned to only happen when the WebRole feature is installed. Works like a charm and has for several years now (same thing happened in WiX 2.0 as well). I call it "ModifyExecuteSequence.vbs and it is called from the overall build script so I don't run it manually each time. Here's the code I use Option Explicit ' Set up the initial variables, which dictate what action to change, and which column to change Dim strColumn, strNewValue, strAction strAction = "ConfigureIIs" strColumn = "Condition" strNewValue = "(&WebRole=3) OR (&WebRole=2)" ' Create the Windows Installer object Dim objInstaller Set objInstaller = WScript.CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer") ' Create the Database object from the filename passed in as our parameter Dim strPackagePath, objDatabase strPackagePath = WScript.Arguments(0) Set objDatabase = objInstaller.OpenDatabase(strPackagePath, 1) ' Setup the query that will access the database Dim strQuery strQuery = "SELECT " & strColumn & " FROM InstallExecuteSequence WHERE Action='" & strAction & "'" WScript.Echo strQuery ' open up a view to the database, and execute the query Dim objView Set objView = objDatabase.OpenView(strQuery) objView.Execute ' we're assuming that the database only returns one row, and that's the row we need Dim objRecord Set objRecord = objView.Fetch ' make sure that something was returned from the database If Not (objRecord Is Nothing) Then Dim strCell strCell = objRecord.StringData(1) WScript.Echo("Existing cell: " & strCell) WScript.Echo("New value: " & strNewValue) ' modify the cell objRecord.StringData(1) = strNewValue objView.Modify 2, objRecord Else WScript.Echo("Nothing found!") End If ' close the view and commit the change to the database objView.Close objDatabase.Commit -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Podszun [mailto:benjamin.pods...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 8:53 AM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Installing without IIS in spite of optional webapplication component 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Come build with us!
