    <p>Background: I have a Wix installer where a virtual directory gets created in an existing IIS website. The virtual directory is created (it doesn't exist before the install) but the IIS website should already be created (user just picks a website to install to in a ListBox).</p> <p>The problem: On uninstall, the Physical Path of the IIS website that got installed to becomes blank, no value for that attribute. Below is a pared down version of my main wix file. I'm not sure why the uninstall is affecting the IIS website, but any thoughts are appreciated.</p> <p>Notes: I'm on Wix 3.5 and Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.</p> <pre><code>&lt;Product&gt; &lt;Property Id='WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION'&gt; &lt;RegistrySearch Id='RememberPropertyWEBSITE_DESCRIPTION' Root='HKCU' Key='SOFTWARE\Company\Product' Name='InstalledWebsiteDescription' Type='raw' /&gt; &lt;/Property&gt; &lt;Property Id='WEBSITE_PORT'&gt; &lt;RegistrySearch Id='RememberPropertyWEBSITE_PORT' Root='HKCU' Key='SOFTWARE\Company\Product' Name='InstalledWebsitePort' Type='raw' /&gt; &lt;/Property&gt; &lt;Component Id='PropertiesToSave' Directory='ApplicationFolder'&gt; &lt;RegistryValue Root='HKCU' Key='SOFTWARE\Company\Product' Name='InstalledWebsiteDescription' Value='[WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION]' Type='string' /&gt; &lt;RegistryValue Root='HKCU' Key='SOFTWARE\Company\Product' Name='InstalledWebsitePort' Value='[WEBSITE_PORT]' Type='string' /&gt; &lt;RemoveFolder Id='CleanupApplicationFolder' On='uninstall' /&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; &lt;Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'&gt; &lt;Component Id='TestWebVirtualDirComponent' Guid='12345678-6304-410E-A808-E3585379EADB'&gt; &lt;CreateFolder /&gt; &lt;iis:WebVirtualDir Id='TestWebVirtualDir' Alias='[WEBSITE_VIRTUALDIR]' Directory='TARGETDIR' WebSite='MyWebsite'&gt; &lt;iis:WebApplication Id='TestWebApplication' Name='Test' /&gt; &lt;/iis:WebVirtualDir&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;iis:WebSite Id="MyWebsite" Description="[WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION]" SiteId="*"&gt; &lt;iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="[WEBSITE_PORT]" /&gt; &lt;/iis:WebSite&gt; &lt;Feature&gt; &lt;ComponentRef Id='TestWebVirtualDirComponent'/&gt; &lt;ComponentRef Id='PropertiesToSave'/&gt; &lt;/Feature&gt; &lt;/Product&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COI've used WIX (3.0 in my case) for an IIS-related installation, too, and I found a few surprises and glitches. In some cases I had to resort to custom actions to get it to work as expected.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
