Issue when creating an installer using wix to install in a specific website(NOT in Default Web Site)

Question

Hi,

I am creating an .msi using wix to install in "Test Web Site". But it always installs in "Default web site". The .wxs looks like:

<iis:WebVirtualDir Id="VirtualDir" Alias="TestService" Directory="Test_dir" WebSite="WebSiteId" >
   <iis:WebApplication Id="TestWebApp" Name="TestService" />                
</iis:WebVirtualDir>

Does anyone know how to intstall into "Test Web Site" (NOT in "Default Web Site")?

Thanks, Menaka

Hi,

I found the solution for the problem I mentioned.

When the attribute "SiteId" is set to "*", then the website lookup is done using the "Description" attribute of the "" element.
