#83 iis.xsd/extensions not used?

[Hilko_Lantinga]

iis.xsd has ref="Component" under the element "Certificate"
When there is a Certificate under Component and you select it in WiX Edit you receive the error:

"Certificate" is not supported in version 3.6.1601.0 of WiX!
Possibly this type is supported in another version of WiX and wix.xsd.

The error occurs with all versions of WiX.

Hi Hilko,

Some versions of the XSDs in the WiX doc directory are not complete (xs:appinfo and xse:parent elements missing), but the 3.6.1601 should be ok. Is your doc directory up to date?

Please check whether you see "iis:Certificate", when you right click a component, and select the "new" submenu. If not, the iis.xsd is not loaded correctly.

There should be a namespace defined like:
xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension"

and the "iis:" prefix should be used...

The best way to check the exact syntax, is by adding the Certificate with WixEdit (if the IIS.xsd is loaded correctly.).

Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension">
<Product ....>
<Directory ...>
<Component ....>
<iis:Certificate .../>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Product>
</Wix>
