Hi, I am fairly new to the WiX installer but have been able to create an install package that creates our website and installs all needed components some being installed from other installers run from my bootstrapper.
The one element I am having difficulties with is enabling IIS. We need to have the ASPNET45 features enabled for our web page to operate so even if the IIS is enabled on the destination PC I need to check the features that are enabled. I can do this via the registry as each feature has an entry nd so can build a DISM command line that only enabled the missing features. The problems I am having seem to come from inconsistencies with how the DISM command run. Sometimes there are no errors and IIS is up and running, sometimes I get error 0x800f0906 (this is concerning the source of the files needed for the features being enabled) and sometimes the IIS is installed but will only be running once the PC has been re-booted. The PC in all cases was a clean freshly installed version of Windows 8 (32-Bit) run as a virtual PC and reset after each attempt but using a snapshot so I am reasonably confident that the PC in all cases was the same. Can anyone give me a clue as to where I can go from here as it seems the only way for me to get round this reliably would be to give detailed instructions as to how to enable IIS and what settings are required and get the user to activate manually and only check that the required features are turned on before installing the web site. Example of the DISM command line DISM /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /featurename:NetFx4-AdvSrvs /featurename:NetFx4Extended-ASPNET45 /featurename:IIS-NetFxExtensibility45 /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45 /All -- *John Walter* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
