Your XMLConfig code looks correct so it appears your IISROOT property isn't being set. Check a verbose log.
Also there may be a property in IIS Extension which does the searching work for you. However seeing as I can't even find IISMAJORVERSION & IISMINORVERSION anywhere in the v3.0 WiX.chm you may need to do some searching on the web to locate the appropriate Property name (unless some good Samaritan on this list replies). I haven't done any IIS setup so I don't know myself.
