I'm relatively new to WIX and I'm looking for a simple example to get started on an installer for a web site that will be deployed in an n-tier environment. From the examples I've searched for on the web I've pieced together a basic WIX file but the messages coming back from IIS are too cryptic to really help me figure out how to fix it. I'll provide both the Product..wxs file and the installer log with the error.
Product.wxs <? <xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>Wixxmlns="http://schemas.microsoft..com/wix/2006/wi";< < < < < < < < < < </ < </ < < < < </ < </ </ </ </ < < < </ </ </ The error I get when installing is: ConfigureIIsExec: Error 0x80070006: Failed to format string ConfigureIIsExec: Error 0x80070006: Failed to get Description for Web ConfigureIIsExec: Error 0x80070006: failed while processing WebSites Error 26002. Failed while processing WebSites. (-2147024890 ) MSI (s) (3C!C4) [09:52:42:727]: Product: WebServerWIX -- Error 26002. Failed while processing WebSites. (-2147024890 ) This is probably something very obvious to most of you who have done this before. Any help or pointer to an existing example that works would be appreciated. Charles The full log file generated by the installer when this is run is as follows: === Logging started: 12/3/2009 9:52:38 === Action 9:52:38: INSTALL. Action start 9:52:38: INSTALL.
