Advanced IIS and Site Settings

[Marko]

Hi there,
I am trying to configure the advanced installer 10.2 to perform the following actions on IIS8

Under a specific site(virtual directory), under advanced settings to set Preload Enabled to true
Under a specific IISPool, under advanced settings to set Start Mode to Always Running.

Currently i do not see any way to change this configuration from the default settings in Advanced Installer, is there is any way to do this?
Thank you.

Hi Marko,

For the website we do not have this option available, when the package is installed the default assigned by IIS will be used.

For the application pool there is only one option to start it immediately after it was installed, in its main tab from IIS page. No other options related to its start mode are available.

Best regards,
Bogdan

If anyone else is looking for an answer to this question as this has huge implications in performance of the server side application

Set up a custom action and lunch the following application.
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config /section:applicationPools -[name='nameOfService'].startMode:AlwaysRunning
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set app "websitename/vdirname" /serviceAutoStartEnabled:true
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set app "websitename/vdirname" /preloadEnabled:true
