I trying to install web application into virtual directory i.e. "c:\Inetpub\XYZ". But it is installing into "D:\XYZ" or Mysource directory is "D:\". Can any body help me how to install into website location (XYZ) in IIS virtual directory("C:\Inetpub\XYZ").
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="XYZ">
<Component Id="VirtualDirectoryComponent" Guid="DED95D72-52AE-4258-9D50-687E65449F95">

I want to create a folder in C drive and then create some sub folders inside that folder in the wix installer program. But these folders are not related with installed folder. . My program want to install inside the AServiceSetup folder...but i want to create a 'PTLogFile' folder inside the C drive and then want to create some sub folders inside that folder. Please any one help me to correct my code.Following is my code
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="PTLogFile" Name="PTLogFile">
<Directory Id="Backups" Name="Backups"/>
<Directory Id="CommandLog" Name="CommandLog"/>
<Directory Id="EventLog" Name="EventLog"/>
<Directory Id="Responds" Name="Responds"/>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="AServiceSetup">
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Fragment>
Thank you for your replies. I got the answer from the above replies
Directory structure as follows
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="LogFile" Name="LogFile">
<Directory Id="Logs" Name="Logs">
<Directory Id="Log1" Name="Log1"/>
<Directory Id="Log2" Name="Log2"/>
<Directory Id="Log3" Name="Log3"/>
<Directory Id="Log4" Name="Log4"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="AServiceSetup">
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
And Component as follows
<Component Id="CreateLogFolders" Guid="....." Directory="LogFile" >
<CreateFolder Directory="LogFile" />
<CreateFolder Directory="Logs"/>
<CreateFolder Directory="Log1"/>
<CreateFolder Directory="Log2"/>
<CreateFolder Directory="Log3"/>
<CreateFolder Directory="Log4"/>
</Component>
and this component reference inside the feature of the product as follows
<ComponentRef Id="CreateLogFolders"/>
Finally add a property inside the product as follows
<Property Id="LogFile" Value="C:" />
While you have defined a directory structure, the installer is only going to create directories that are required by components.
A simple option is to add a component like the following:
<Component Id="CreateLogFolders" Directory="PTLogFile">
<CreateFolder Directory="PTLogFile" />
<CreateFolder Directory="Backups" />
<CreateFolder Directory="CommandLog" />
<CreateFolder Directory="EventLog" />
<CreateFolder Directory="Responds" />
</Component>
and reference this component in one of your features.
You'd rather place each <CreateFolder> element, which results in a record to CreateFolder table, in its own component. Otherwise, I'm not sure this complies well with component rules...
Leave the directory structure as follows:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="PTLogFile" Name="PTLogFile" />
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="AServiceSetup">
</Directory>
</Directory>
And author the component in the way similar to this:
<DirectoryRef Id="PTLogFile">
<Directory Id="Backups">
<Component Id="..." Guid="...">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="CommandLog">
<Component Id="..." Guid="...">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="EventLog">
<Component Id="..." Guid="...">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="Responds">
<Component Id="..." Guid="...">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
I am creating an installer using Wix in visual studios 2012. Below is my code for the product.wxs. I am receiving a "warning ICE39: 'Admin Image' flag set in SummaryInfo stream. Should be set only for Admin packages." I have changed admin image from yes to no and rebuilt, it removes the warning but i am still unable to install on a computer that has local admin privileges, and is also a domain admin. However, i can install it on my machine, and im not a domain admin,
I would upload the image but not enough rep yet. here is an image link.

Remove the Admin attribute. This attribute doesn't refer to needing admin rights to install a package, it refers to whether the MSI is a normal Installation or an Administrative Installation.
For more information, see the help topics:
Administrative Installation (Windows)
Word Count Summary property (Windows) (Notice the definition of bit 2 and bit 3 these correlate to the AdminImage and InstallPrivileges attributes respectively)
I am building an installer using wix for several .net web applications. I have two features, one of which installs several virtual directories / applications under default web site in IIS. The second feature creates a separate website with a single virtual directory.
The problem is when I install both features, the virtual directories (from feature 1) under default web site are not removed during the uninstall. The strange part is that if I just install feature 1 (exclude feature 2) the uninstall works properly for feature 1 and the virtual directories are removed.
I am new to wix, I'm guessing something is wrong with my product.wxs or there is something Im not understanding. Thoughts?
Here is a sample snippet from my product.wxs file :

This issue was discovered during early development of my installer. As more development work was done and other issues resolved, I am no longer seeing this behavior.
I never really figured out exactly what was happening, but I have noticed during testing if one or more things are awry with the installer, certain (seemingly unrelated) components will be left behind during the uninstall...
Background: I have a Wix installer where a virtual directory gets created in an existing IIS website. The virtual directory is created (it doesn't exist before the install) but the IIS website should already be created (user just picks a website to install to in a ListBox).
The problem: On uninstall, the Physical Path of the IIS website that got installed to becomes blank, no value for that attribute. Below is a pared down version of my main wix file. I'm not sure why the uninstall is affecting the IIS website, but any thoughts are appreciated.
Notes: I'm on Wix 3.5 and Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.

WiX IIsExtension recognizes the WebSite by Description attribute and Port attribute of child WebAddress element. So, when you install your application, you set WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION and WEBSITE_PORT in some way. However, when you run uninstall, the mentioned properties are not set, and you get the behavior you described.
The solution to this is to save the required property values to system registry and use RegistrySearch element to read the values and set appropriate properties. This is called "Remember Property" pattern and is perfectly explained by Rob Mensching here.
I have a hierarchy of Directory elements in a WiX script.
I also have a component that creates a virtual directory (using IIS:WebVirtualDir), which points to the root of my Directory hierarchy.
How do I change a property (e.g. AnonymousAccess) of a subfolder of the virtual directory, e.g.
MyVirtualDir <<< this is the virtual directory root
MyVirtualDir\MySubFolder <<< this is the subfolder for which I wish to change a property using WebDirProperties
Please note that I do not wish to create a new virtual directory for the subfolder. I only wish to change a few security settings.
The current script is too big to post here, but take a look at the WiX tutorial: 5.3 Web Directory. Suppose in that example that there was another Directory element named "MySubFolder" nested within the "InstallDir" element. What would then be the next step in order to set properties for "MySubFolder" without turning it into a virtual directory?
Sample code for the IIS:Web element seems to be hard to come by, but after some trial and error, I think I found a solution:
Create the folder as normal in the Directory hierarchy:
<Directory Id='blahDir' Name='blah'>
<Component Id ='CreateBlah' Guid='B1976E1A-DEB1-4FBB-A5AB-4AA60930D2DC'>
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
Create an IIS:WebDirProperties element (in this case, some random values for testing):
<IIS:WebDirProperties Id="ReadAndExecute" Read="yes" Write="yes" Script="yes" Execute="yes" AnonymousAccess="yes" Index="no" LogVisits="no" />
Create an IIS:WebDir component pointing to the folder and the WebDirProperties element:
<Component Id='TestWebDir' Guid='8ED05357-1AAE-49F2-8C66-8813583C8157'>
<IIS:WebDir WebSite='DefaultWebSite' Id='MyWebDir' Path='Test/blah' DirProperties='ReadAndExecute' />
</Component>
