[WiX-users] How to create or modify a web.config file in IIS root directory?

[Erich Nurr]

Hi i want to make a parent web.config file by WiX in the IIS root directory.
I cant know, if a web.config file will already exists in the IIS root
directory or not, so i have to create a web.config file if there is no one
and only modify it , if there is already a web.config file (without deleting
other code inside).
i tried it with the <util:XMLConfig ...> element.

Here my code snippet:


    <Property Id="IISROOT"> 
      <RegistrySearch Id="IISROOT" Type="raw" Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\Microsoft\InetStp" Name="PathWWWRoot" /> 
    </Property> 

    <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> 
      <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles"> 
        <Directory Id="IISROOT" Name="."> 
          <Component Id="IISROOTREF"
Guid="3a638c0c-ba38-46be-942d-1a2bc350f35c"> 
            <File Id="webconfig" Name="web.config"
Source="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config" Vital="yes" DiskId="1" /> 

            <util:XmlConfig Id="Location1Element" File="[IISROOT]web.config" 
                          Action="create" Name="location" 
                          ElementPath="//configuration" Sequence="1" 
                          Node="element" On="install" /> 
            
            <!-- ... more XmlConfig elements ... --> 

            <util:XmlConfig Id="removeLocation1Element"
File="[IISROOT]web.config"
                          Action="delete" ElementPath="//configuration"
                          Node="element"
VerifyPath="location[...@path='SchedulerWebAccessService'[\]]"
                          On="uninstall" Sequence="1" />

          </Component> 
          <Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Scheduler_WebAccess'>             
            <Directory Id="WebsiteDir" Name="Website"> 
              <Directory Id="WebsiteBin" Name="bin" /> 
            </Directory> 
            <Directory Id="WebServiceDir" Name="WebService" /> 
          </Directory> 
        </Directory> 
      </Directory> 
    </Directory> 

    <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" /> 
    <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /> 
... 

is this the right way?
