Make sure you have " on both ends of the absolute path to appcmd.exe. You're missing them in your code, and that will break everything. Also, you need to make sure: 1) that the property you're setting before the call to CAQuietExec EXACTLY matches the Id of the CAQuietExec call; and 2) that the property is set before the call to CAQuietExec. If you've done those two things, a verbose log should show you: 1) what command line is actually being passed to CAQuietExec; and 2) some indication of whether CAQuietExec succeeded or failed. Setting up the command line can be tricky.
<CustomAction Id="SetSetAppPool" Property="SetAppPool" Value=""[APPCMD_PATH]" set apppool "[APPPOOLNAME]" -autostart:true -startMode:AlwaysRunning" Execute="immediate" /> <CustomAction Id="SetAppPool" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec64" Execute="deferred" Return="ignore" /> Note also that you may need to call the 64-bit entry point for CAQuietExec as IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 is a 64-bit process and some of the assemblies will not load correctly in a 32-bit call (which CAQuietExec contra CAQuietExec64 is). -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.(r) Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: shanmukha sainath addepalli [mailto:sainath.addepa...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 08, 2012 1:41 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec fails to execute inetsrv\appcmd Hello John, Thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested but still I faced the same problem. I used DirectorySearch for getting the absolute path to the appcmd.exe. But I have one more property which is app pool name which will be taken as input from the user. <Property Id="CONFIGUREINTEGRATEDAPPPOOLSCMD"> <DirectorySearch Id="AppCmdContainer" Path='[SystemFolder]inetsrv' Depth='0'> <FileSearch Id='AppCmdFile' Name='appcmd.exe'/> </DirectorySearch> </Property> This gets me full path to appcmd.exe but still I need to write a custom action which updates the property being passed to CAQuietExec, with updated Application Pool name. Can you share an example code...
