Symantec WINDOWS INSTALLER EDITOR 7.0 SP2 - REFERENCE FOR WISE INSTALLATION STUDIO V1.0 Installation Manual page 271

Windows Installer Editor Reference
A virtual directory is considered top-level if it is directly under Destination Computer,
and is considered a child if it is under a Web site.
To create a virtual directory
1. Select Installation Expert > Web Files page.
If you don't see the Web Files page, select All from the Page Views drop-down list.
2. From Current Feature, select a feature or condition. (Because any item you add
must be assigned to a specific feature, you cannot add an item when All Features
is selected.)
3. If the Web installation requires a Web server restart, mark Restart IIS service
during installation. This check box does not appear when All Features is selected
above.
4. In the lower-left list box, select a parent node.
5. Click New and select New Virtual Directory.
The New Virtual Directory dialog box appears.
6. Complete the dialog box:
Alias
Enter an alias for the directory. This typically appears in the URL to this Web
resource.
Local Path
Specify the physical directory to which the alias is mapped. You can browse to
any directory that has already been added to the installation and create an
additional directory (optional) by typing its name in this field.
7. Click OK.
The virtual directory appears in the lower-left list box.
8. Select the new virtual directory and click Details.
The details dialog box appears with several tabs. For a top-level virtual directory,
the Web Site, Web Site UI, and Home Directory tabs appear. For a child virtual
directory, the Virtual Directory and Virtual Directory UI tabs appear. The remaining
tabs are the same for both types of virtual directory.
9. Click the Installation Settings tab and complete the tab:
Override Existing Settings
If an installation with the same name as this one is already on the destination
computer, specify whether to retain existing settings (None) or override
existing settings (All).
Remove on Uninstall
(Top-level virtual directories only.) Mark this to have this virtual directory
removed (unregistered) from IIS during uninstall. This does not uninstall the
physical directory and files—the normal uninstall mechanism handles that.
Support IIS 7.0 (Vista and later)
This option enables IIS 7.0, which is available only with Vista and later. If you
create a new installation, this check box is marked by default. If you open an
installation created with a previous version of Windows Installer Editor, it is not
checked. When this option is checked, a web.config file is added to the
installation although it is not saved until you save or compile the installation.
