Problem in declaring new MIME type

Mon Nov 27, 2017 4:27 pm

Hi,
You can create or add new MIME Type with star for extension in IIS Windows Feature.
Go to IIS Manager, then select your Site, then click on MIME Types and then create new MIME Type by bellow contetn:
File name extension: *
MIME type: any (f.e. text/h323)

But you can't declare this MIME type in Advanced Installer Project's to add during installation.
Advanced Installer prevent me to type star in Extension filed in MIME Configuration Window. Why?

Please resolve this problem or show me a tip.
Thanks a lot.

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Indeed, due to a limitation currently you cannot add a star character in our "Extension" field. I've added this improvement on our todo list and hopefully it will be available in the future. We will update this thread when the enhancement will be available.

Until then, as a workaround, you can proceed like this:

1. go to "Table Editor" page and select the "AI_IISMime" table
2. edit the "Extension" field of your mime type row to use the star character
3. rebuild and test the setup installation

Please note that the workaround can be implemented only by using an "Enterprise" or higher project type.

All the best,
Daniel
