+ in case of a properties.wix declaration of a "Default Web Site" so that we have a way to do things against that well known iis7x site if/when we need to I'm guessing that we must use SiteId="0" in that case, vs SiteId="*", so that we always find use the site with name "Default Web Site" known to be site 0 regardless of what port and/or host header and/or ip bindings an operator has created on it for a given environment, e.g. <iis:WebSite Id=DefaultWebSite" Description="Default Web Site"><iis:WebAddress Id="http" Port="80" /></iis:WebSite> becomes just the following without the iis:WebAddress specifics? <iis:WebSite Id=DefaultWebSite" SiteId="0" Description="Default Web Site"></iis:WebSite> -----Original Message----- From: Robert O'Brien [mailto:Rob...@mi...] Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 4:19 PM To: 'tom...@ar...'; 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'; Kiran Challa Cc: Dmitry Frenkel Subject: Re: [WiX-users] is it a bug that iis:WebSite doesn't locate presence of existing website using just the Name attribute value versus port settings? Thanks this helps. Currently Kiran is testing this out to see if it provides the iis:WebSite behavior outlined below that we are looking for. Is there an current lkg build newer than the public wix 3 beta1 release 4805 that folks can switch to in order to ensure they have all the latest and greatest fixes that have gone in since 4805 but still be on a known to be good install? -----Original Message----- From: Thomas S.

Robert, Add SiteId="*" as an attribute to iis:WebSite. SiteId String Optional attribute to directly specify the site id of the WebSite. Use this to ensure all web sites in a web garden get the same site id. If a number is provided, the site id must be unique on all target machines. If "*" is used, the Description attribute will be hashed to create a unique value for the site id. This value must be a positive number or a "*" or a formatted value that resolves to "-1" (for the same behavior as "*") or a positive number or blank. If this attribute is absent then the web site will be located using the WebAddress element associated with the web site. Thanks, Thomas S.

From: Robert O'Brien <Rob...@mi...> To: 'wix...@li...' <wix...@li...> Cc: Dmitry Frenkel <Dmi...@mi...> Date: 4/7/2009 7:14 PM > We have a service deliverable msi where optionally have some w08/iis70 "Default Web Site" vdir settings we want to apply and some "Site1 Web Site" and "Site2 Web Site" settings we want to apply (see relevant excerpt below). We need to allow for deployments where "Site1 Web Site" and "Site2 Web Site" already exist as a result of OPS having set them up in advance. This is to enable scenarios where all web sites are advertised on tcp/80 and tcp/443 and OPS uses environment specific IP or host header name settings to differentiate incoming requests. In our installer we won't know what those environment specific IP or host header name settings are. > > What we are finding is that the iis:WebSite extension uses iis:WebAddress port settings to determine if the site is already present. So in cases where all three iis:WebSite details in our code of iis:WebAddress portEUR defined, and no other unique setting such as ip or host header, they always end up latching onto and modifying the "Default Web Site". > > q1 - is this expected behavior for the iis:WebSite extension? > q2 - if this is expected behavior is there some way to work around this so that we can get it looking for an existing install of the iis:WebSite using just the Name attribute value instead? > q3 - if this is expected behavior is this something that has not previously had a bug filed against it to get fixed in some post wix3 official beta 3.0.4805.0 release since having iis:WebSite look for existing install of the site using just the Name attribute value presents a much more powerful story in terms of service deliverable msi's where you have to be able to install against cases where the only unique website thing you can know, want to have to know, at development time is the Name. > > <iis:WebAppPool Id=efaultAppPool" Name="DefaultAppPool" /> > <iis:WebSite Id=efaultWebSite" Description="Default Web Site"> > <iis:WebAddress Id=ttp" Port="80" /> > </iis:WebSite> > > <Component Id=ite1AppPool" Guid="ACF34F1A-5778-4A98-8AF9-7CF38A81AF6F" KeyPath="yes" Permanent="yes"> > <iis:WebAppPool Id=ite1AppPool" Name="Site1AppPool" Identity="networkService" /> > </Component> > <Component Id=ite1" Guid="35BD9B02-7833-4CCE-9BC6-D8B8B49E5347" Permanent="yes"> > <File Id=nstalledSite1.txt" Name="InstalledSite1.txt" Source="Resources\InstalledComponent.txt" KeyPath="yes" /> > <!-- TODO: copy Site1Dir files into place here --> > <iis:WebSite Id=ite1WebSite" Description="Site1 Web Site" Directory="Site1Dir"> > <iis:WebApplication Id=ite1App" Name="Site1 Application" WebAppPool="Site1AppPool" Isolation="medium" /> > <iis:WebAddress Id=ite1WebAddress" Port="80" /> > <iis:WebAddress Id=ite1WebAddressSsl" Port="443" Secure="yes" /> > </iis:WebSite> > </Component> > > <Component Id=ite2AppPool" Guid="510AD484-C0E6-441D-9E07-8B583D2207CA" KeyPath="yes" Permanent="yes"> > <iis:WebAppPool Id=ite2AppPool" Name="Site2AppPool" Identity="networkService" /> > </Component> > <Component Id=ite2" Guid="AFBE602C-550C-43DB-A36A-BCEC66569967" Permanent="yes"> > <File Id=nstalledSite2.txt" Name="InstalledSite2.txt" Source="Resources\InstalledComponent.txt" KeyPath="yes" /> > <!-- TODO: copy Site2Dir files into place here --> > <iis:WebSite Id=ite2WebSite" Description="Site2 Web Site" Directory="Site2Dir"> > <iis:WebApplication Id=ite2App" Name="Site2 Application" WebAppPool="Site2AppPool" Isolation="medium" /> > <iis:WebAddress Id=ite2WebAddress" Port="80" /> > <iis:WebAddress Id=ite2WebAddressSsl" Port="443" Secure="yes" /> > </iis:WebSite> > </Component> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
