It's missing because it's part of the VS setup infrastructure for creating web sites, not part of WiX. I don't know what "added the custom action" actually means there, but because it's a piece of VS setups, WiX won't have that Dll, you won't know it's dependencies or limitations (which IIS versions it supports, which ports it supports), you probably aren't allowed to redistribute it with your setup, and there's no point anyway. Use whatever WiX supplies in the way of custom actions for creating web sites.

I am trying to convert an msi for a VS 2010 web setup project to WiX using the dark command. The build for the WiX project fails because there is an error "Unresolved reference to symbol 'CustomAction:WEBCA_CreateURLs' in section 'Product:*'". I added the custom action to the WiX project and am now getting an error that a DLL required for the install to complete could not be run when I executed it. When I edited the msi with Orca, I noticed that this custom action was not defined in the msi even though it was specified as a control event for both the WebFolderForm and AdminWebFolder form as shown: Dialog_Control_EventArgumentConditionOrderingAdminWebFolderFormNextDoActionW EBCA_CreateURLs10WebFolderFormNextDoActionWEBCA_CreateURLs10 Any recommendations on how this issue can be resolved? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Everyone hates slow websites.
