I do use a custom dialog to present the Web Site, IP address and TCP Port and then use a custom action to validate what the user provides. If it is all correct then the install proceeds and I use the Port Number just as you describe in your reply. I default the TCP Port to 80, but they are welcome to override it on a clean install and I store the value so on an upgrade I can present them with what they used during the clean install. Of course, if they changed it they can override what I display and type in the correct value. If they aren't sure of the value it's simple enough to pop open IIS Manager and gather what they need to complete the install.

Then http://[ComputerName]/[Vdir] won't work.
