New features in 6.9.1 for IIS Problems

[thirsch1]

If I set the Virtual Directory Authentication Account to Installed user I cannot set the password. It does not seem to get the right password after the install. Also I need to set the Account to Property based before I can set the password.

With IIS 7 in Windows Server 2008 I need to set the Module Mappings for the dll.
Extra actions required after install in the IIS Manager
Open Handler Mappings for the Site/Virtual Directory
Add Module Mapping
Request path: set to *.dll
Modlue: set to IsapiModule
Executable: set to dll path
Name: set to a name
open Request Restrictions
Set access to execute

It would be nice to be able to add the Module Mappings to the Server Level as there is a problem with the allowPathInfo="true" if it is set at the Virtual Directory level. It seems to be set to true if the mapping is at the Server level but false if set at the Virtual Directory level.

With IIS 6 I need to ad a Web Services Extension for the dll.
Extra actions required after install in the IIS Manager
Open Web Service Extension
Add a new Web service extension
Extension Name: set to a name
Required file: set to the dll
Set extension status to allowed: check

Hi,

If I set the Virtual Directory Authentication Account to Installed user I cannot set the password.

When using an installed user IIS uses the password configured in the User Account Properties pane from the "Users and Groups" page.

With IIS 7 in Windows Server 2008 I need to set the Module Mappings for the dll.

You can add application mappings through the Application Mappings tab in the "IIS" page. Also, you can configure the access through the Access Flags tab.

With IIS 6 I need to ad a Web Services Extension for the dll.

Advanced Installer allows you to use Front Page server extensions for your web site. For more details please see these articles:
Web site settings
Front Page server extensions
If you need other types of extensions you can try using a custom action, although I'm not sure how the custom action would look like.

On the "Web Application Mapping Properties" dialog there needs to be one more field to set what appears as "Handler" in IIS manager. This is in the IIS config file as attribute 'modules':

<add name="CustomMapping-cgi" path="*.cgi" verb="GET,POST,HEAD" modules="CgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\usr\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Script" />

This causes a smooth installation to fail until the mapping is manually edited in the IIS manager.

This is necessary in all the IIS 7.x versions.

Hello Robert and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

Can you please tell us what version of Advanced Installer you are using? This should be fixed starting with our 9.9 version of Advanced Installer. So, can you test your scenario using a newer version of Advanced Installer (i.e. 9.9 or 10.0) and see if the behavior still persist?

All the best,
Daniel
