Anybody have any success getting around IIS7 issues with WiX 3.5?
- by Will
WiX 3.5 still is having issues with creating websites in IIS7. I can get around most of them, but I'm getting hosed by the inability to configure the website authentication mode.
Traditionally, you would just use the WebDirProperties to, for instance, turn on windows authentication:
<iis:WebDirProperties Id="OMFG3.5BUGSUX" WindowsAuthentication="yes" />
Well, this doesn't work. So, now, once my nice lovely installer exits you get a big fat screw-you-unauthorized-jerk message. Not exactly professional looking.
Does anybody have any suggestions/tips on working around these shortcomings in WiX?
