Here are some gotchas to be aware of when using XmlConfig/XmlFile to modify IIS 7's applicationHost.config file :
- You have to be elevated in order to *read* in the file. In my case, I was parsing the file from the UI sequence in order to present a list of web sites to the user. The simplest (!) way I found to elevate the UI sequence was to write a launcher exe. - If you are installing on a 64-bit machine, you need a 64-bit installer even if your app isn't 64-bit. This is because IIS is 64-bit and its applicationHost.config is located under the 64-bit system32 directory, which isn't accessible from a 32-bit installer.
