Reorder of application installation

[SHUGHES-QLDHEALTH]

I was wondering if there could be an option to reorder the way components suh as IIS and SQL get installed. I needed IIS installed prior to SQL, due to having to add the Windows Authentication account to the SQL Server. However, IIS installs post SQL Server and the only way around this was to build a script to run prior to the SQL install. It would be good if this was an option in the future as kind felt redundant what i had to build when it was encapsulate in the Server section.

Hello Stephen and welcome to our forums,

Indeed, currently the IIS entities installation is done at the very end of the installation. If you will need IIS installation performed sooner you can create another setup package containing only the IIS resources and add this package as a prerequisite to your maine project.

However, I've forwarded your thoughts to our development team and hopefully they will consider an option to configure the execution time of the IIS installation stage. Thank you for your suggestion.

All the best,
Daniel

Thanks for the prompt response. Just thought I would request a change - thank you for passing on for consideration.

You're welcome Stephen.

Also, as an addendum, another solution will be to edit the sequence of our SQL Scripts install action to execute after the IIS install action. Here are the steps:
1. go to "Table Editor" page and select the "InstallExecuteSequence"
2. edit the "Sequence" field of the "AI_SqlInstall" action to be higher (e.g. 6550) than the sequence number of the "AI_IIsInstall" action
3. rebuild and test the scenario

All the best,
Daniel
