Wix Version: Wix 3.5.1710.0 I have the following element that works in IIS 6 (Win 2003 Server). I'm now porting to install onto Windows Server 2008 R2. I had to change IISGroup to reference IIS_IUSRS and the install works. However, I found that the web site does not reference my RootWebAppPool application pool. It references the Default pool. However, the sub app does reference SubWebAppPool. Why the difference?
When I run this same code in Windows 2003 server, it works (with IISGroup=IIS_WPG) and the app pool is assigned to both applications. Thanks. <Component Id="WebSitecomp" Guid="<>" > <CreateFolder /> <util:User Id="MyAppPoolUserIdentity" Domain="MyDomain" Name="MyUser" Password="MyUserPassword1234 CreateUser="no" FailIfExists="no" RemoveOnUninstall="no"> <util:GroupRef Id="IISGroup"/> </util:User> <iis:WebAppPool Id="RootWebAppPool" Name="RootWebAppPool" Identity="other" User=" MyAppPoolUserIdentity " /> <iis:WebAppPool Id="SubWebAppPool" Name="SubWebAppPool" Identity="other" User=" MyAppPoolUserIdentity "/> <iis:WebSite Id="TheWebSite" AutoStart="yes" ConfigureIfExists="yes" Description="The Web Site" Directory="c:\installdir\wwwroot\myapp" StartOnInstall="yes" DirProperties="MyProperties" > <iis:WebAddress Id="MyWebAddress" IP="127.0.0.0" Port="80" Secure="no" Header=""/> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="VDir_SubWeb" Directory="c:\installdir\wwwroot\myapp\subapp1" DirProperties=" MyProperties " Alias="subapp1" > <!-- This web app gets assigned SubWebAppPool and you can verify in IIS manager --> <iis:WebApplication Id="SubAppApp1" Name=" SubAppApp1" WebAppPool=" SubWebAppPool " > </iis:WebApplication> </iis:WebVirtualDir> <!-- This web app Does NOT get assigned RootWebAppPool and you can see it is not listed when you look at RootWebAppPool->applications, the list is empty-Why??--> <iis:WebApplication Id="MyRootApp" Name="MyRootApp" WebAppPool="RootWebAppPool" > </iis:WebApplication> </iis:WebSite> </Component> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
