I've seen the WebApplicationExtension element, but because it must be a child of WebApplication, it appears to require the creation of a new WebApplication. I don't want that.

I want to create the extension (or script map) on an existing website. On uninstall, the website should remain but the extension (script map entry) should be removed.

Anyone know how to do this in WIX?

If I get no good answers, I guess I will have to do it within script before InstallFinalize.
