Windows Installer Editor Reference
You set options for each Web site or virtual directory you added on the Web Files page.
Setting installation options adds Web (IIS) dialog boxes to the installation. If you omit
the procedure below, no Web dialog boxes appear to the end user, and the installation
tries to apply the defaults for all items.
Warning
Do not edit the Web (IIS) dialog boxes, except to change their order (as a group) in the
installation sequence. Editing the Web dialog boxes might cause unexpected,
undesirable behavior, including damage to the installation. Also, any operation within
this product that affects the installation's user interface will regenerate the Web dialog
boxes, therefore, any changes you make to them will be lost.
To set installation options
1.
Select Installation Expert > Web Files page.
2.
In the lower-left list box, select a child virtual directory and click Details. If you don't
see the item you want, make sure you have the correct feature selected in Current
Feature.
The details dialog box appears.
3.
Click the Virtual Directory UI tab.
4.
To display installation dialog boxes to the end user at run time, mark Display Run-
Time UI. This adds Web dialog boxes to the installation. When you mark this check
box, the remaining options on the tab are enabled.
Note
If the UI is unavailable for the parent Web site, then Web dialog boxes are not
generated for this child virtual directory.
Note
If the current installation was built in an older version of Windows Installer Editor,
you are prompted to first convert the dialog boxes on the Dialogs page. Converting
resets navigation and conditions, so if you have customized the dialog boxes, back
up this installation before converting.
5.
Complete the tab:
Web Resources Location:
New Virtual Directory
Mark this to let end users install Web resources in the named virtual
directory to a new virtual directory.
Existing Virtual Directory
Mark this to let end users choose to install Web resources to an existing
virtual directory. They will see a list of existing virtual directories to choose
from.
Let End Users Rename Virtual Directory at Run Time
Mark this to let end users enter a new name and parent directory for the virtual
directory, other than the name you set by default on the Web Files page.
6.
Click OK.
