Optional create virtual directory

Current AI has a feature to create a virtual directory, it works fine except if there is already a virtual directory there. The installer will error out.

I think many people have similar cases like mine. I have several web applications in IIS already, I definitely do not want to override the setting of my virtual directories (for example, certificate settings) when I run an installer, but I do not like the installer error out either. I guess maybe there is a way to have optional settings, like to create a virtual directory if there is none there.

Because of the case, now I have to write vbscript with custom actions.
Hopefully this will be handled properly in future releases of AI.

Thanks!

Hi,

It is not a good practice to continue the installation if not all IIS components are installed successfully.

However as a request of many clients we will investigate this and we shall consider to implement it in a future version of AI.

Regards,
Gigi
