SQL Query Custom Action Bug?
I have added a SQL Query to a functioning predefined SQL connection: SQLQueryDlg.jpg I want to call this query as a custom action but when I add the Query SQL Database for Data action, the "Chose SQL Query" dialog box is always empty: SQLEmptyBox.jpg I may be missing something, but I can't...

Re: Conditional IIS Properties
Hi Caitlin,
This was indeed what I meant. It's a seriously niche requirement which I'm not sure many other folks would ever need.
I've worked around it with a PowerShell custom action so I think you can ignore this one.
Thanks for following up
John

Re: Custom Headers in IIS Config loses variable
Thanks for confirming, I've worked around it with a PowerShell custom action for now.

Conditional IIS Properties
Hello,
Is it possible to set the properties of an IIS website conditionally depending on the value of a property?
Specifically, what I want to do is set some HTTP headers IF the user elects to install on port 443 (FRONTENDPORT=443, but not set them if it is installed on any other port.
Thanks
John

Custom Headers in IIS Config loses variable
I am setting IIS Config Headers like this: ConfigHeader1.jpg I specify a default property for [SERVERFQDN] and call a custom action to populate this property, I use that property elsewhere in the installer without issue and it is displayed on my final wizard screen. I can also see in the log that it...

Custom Action to Create Self-Signed Cert does not work for IIS Binding
Hi, Just a heads-up that the new-ish CA for creating a self-signed certificate appears to result in a cert that has no trusted root, so IIS will not render a website bound to it. A simple fix is to create a PowerShell task to create the cert correctly: $myFQDN = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName($env:...

Re: Disable Next Button until ListBox entry is SELECTED
Liviu, I'm really grateful for your support. I got it working as you describe, it was not working previously as I had fundamentally misunderstood how to use the AI_LISTBOX_DATA property and was using that as my actual LISTBOX property, it worked, but having a MY_LISTBOX_PROP which I can then check t...

Disable Next Button until ListBox entry is SELECTED
Hi, I'm trying to ensure that the user can't click Next until an entry is clicked in a dynamically created ListBox. The ListBox is populated by a PowerShell script custom action (to list certificates for the user to pick for binding to the IIS websites we're creating). This all works great, but ther...

Set Color of Prerequisite Picker Box
Hi, I've built an installer based on the Orange Vivid Theme but do not want anything to be orange. I've had good results of all other dialog entities using AI_CONTROL_VISUAL_STYLE but it doesn't apply to the PreRequisite picker (it seems). I've attached a screenshot of the problem and a screenshot o...

Choose certificate for IIS binding from Certificate Store
Hi all, Has anyone had any luck creating a dialog view that lets a user select a certificate from the local cert store in a dialog rather than having to copy and paste the thumbprint? I figured this would be built in but it seems not so I'm wondering if a custom action to enumerate all certificates ...

Creating AppPool with different properties
Apologies for cross-posting but the community area doesn't seem to have any suggestions for me and we do have official support... I'm trying to work out the best approach for creating an installer for a website and app pool. I have this all working perfectly, but now want to give the user the option...

Creating AppPool with different properties
Hi folks, My installer creates a website and associated app pool. I allow the user to specify either local system OR a user account for the app pool to run under. This leads to be needing to create the app pool with either the default identity, OR an identity with account details. I imagined that al...
