iis wix burn
Nagy Vilmos picture Nagy Vilmos · Jun 26, 2014 · Viewed 8k times · Source

I've a project using IIS, and I want to create an installer for it with Wix. I've created the .msi installer for the app successfully, and I'm creating a Bundle installer for it, which will install the prerequisites and after that my application.

Here's the Bundle's code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
  xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"
  xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension">
  <Bundle Name="Bootstrapper" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="VilmosNagy" UpgradeCode="844c755f-f02b-4dd3-8b9c-af2498f3128c">
    <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" />
    <Chain>
      <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx45Web"/>
      <PackageGroupRef Id="SQLServerExpress"/>
      <!-- <MsiPackage SourceFile="path\to\your.msi" /> -->
    </Chain>
  </Bundle>
</Wix>

My question is, how can I install (or enable?) the IIS, IF not installed?

Thanks!

The run.bat file is a simple text file, containing %*.

This solution only works on Windows 7, or higher, 'cause the dism.exe is not part of the Windows before version 7.
