Set static and dynamic compression MIME types?

[ejdesmarais]

During installation of my web application, I need to set the following properties in IIS for system.webServer/httpCompression/dynamicTypes and staticTypes:

enabled: True
mimeType: application/json

How can I do this in Advanced Installer?

Thanks!
Evan

Hello Evan and welcome to our forums,

To achieve what you want you could use our "Custom Properties" support. You should go to "IIS" page, select your web site entry and in the right pane select the "Custom Properties" tab. Here add a new collection item like in the attached screenshot.

This is important: Please note that currently due to a UI limitation of our IIS "Custom Properties" support, the "system.webServer/httpCompression" section is not available to be picked from our sections browser. A fix for this issue will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer. We will notify you on this thread when a fix will be out.

Until then, in order to be able to use our IIS "Custom Properties" support as I explained at the beginning of my reply, please send us a quick email to support at advancedinstaller dot com and mention this thread. We will get back to you shortly with a quick fix which will help you to set the "system.webServer/httpCompression" section as requested.

All the best,
Daniel
