My requirement is to add below mentioned scenarios in same installer.
Create a virtual directory under default web site if IIS version is 5.1
Create a new web site if IIS version is equal to or greater than 6.
I added code as given below but it is not working.
<DirectoryRef Id="ServDir">
<Directory Id="ServerWebDIR" Name="$(var.Manufacturer_WWW_LONG_DIRNAME)">
<Component Id="$(var.ServerWeb_Id)" Guid="$(var.ServerWeb_Component_GUID)">

With the help of the following articles I have come up with a working installer in which a new AppPool can be created or an existing AppPool can be selected.
Creating a Web Application Installer with WIX 3.5 and Visual Studio 2010–Part 1
Web Application Installer in WiX
WiX and DTF: Using a Custom Action to list available web sites on IIS
Installing a Web Application to an Existing IIS Website using Wix3
In short:
Create a Website element in your Product element:
<Product>
<iis:WebSite Id="SelectedWebSite" Description="[WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION]" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" SiteId="[WEBSITE_ID]">
<iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80" />
</iis:WebSite>
</Product>
Create an Include WebSites.wxi with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Include>
<Property Id="WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION">
<RegistrySearch Id="WebSiteDescription" Name="WebSiteDescription" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\!(loc.CompanyName)\[ProductName]\Install" Type="raw" />
</Property>
<Property Id="WEBSITE_ID">
<RegistrySearch Id="WebSiteID" Name="WebSiteID" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\!(loc.CompanyName)\[ProductName]\Install" Type="raw" />
</Property>
<Property Id="WEBSITE_PATH">
<RegistrySearch Id="WebSitePath" Name="WebSitePath" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\!(loc.CompanyName)\[ProductName]\Install" Type="raw" />
</Property>
<Property Id="WEBSITE_VD">
<RegistrySearch Id="WebSiteVD" Name="WebSiteVD" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\!(loc.CompanyName)\[ProductName]\Install" Type="raw" />
</Property>
<CustomTable Id="AvailableWebSites">
<Column Id="WebSiteID" Category="Identifier" PrimaryKey="yes" Type="int" Width="4"/>
<Column Id="WebSiteDescription" Category="Text" Type="string" PrimaryKey="no"/>
<Column Id="WebSitePath" Category="Text" Type="string" PrimaryKey="no" Nullable="yes"/>
<Row>
<Data Column="WebSiteID">0</Data>
<Data Column="WebSiteDescription">Dummy</Data>
<Data Column="WebSitePath"></Data>
</Row>
</CustomTable>
</Include>
Create the CustomAction described here.
Create a wxs file with your AppPool:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix

Late answer, but hopefully someone will be benefited with this.
You don't need a CustomAction to make this work.
It is simple like this:
<Component Id="WebSite" Guid="PUT-YOUR-GUID-HERE">
<CreateFolder/>
<iis:WebSite Id="WebSite" Directory="WebSiteRoot" Description="[WEBSITEDESCRIPTION]" >
<iis:WebApplication Id="WebSiteApplication" Name="[WEBSITEDESCRIPTION]" WebAppPool="MyAppPool" />
</iis:WebSite>
<iis:WebAppPool Id="MyAppPool" Name="[APPPOOLNAME]" ManagedRuntimeVersion="v4.0"/>
</Component>
You need to update the "Internal" WebApplication of the WebSite.
You don't need to have the "WebSite Description" and "WebApplication Name" equal, but that will help you to understand what is going on.
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 wanting to add an Application to an existing IIS Site which is not the default IIS Site. This is not a usual request, but is required when deploying to a Win 2008 SBS, MVC Web API applications must be moved under 'SBS Web Applications' to work correctly.
In IIS, I would right mouse button on the 'SBS Web Applications' > Add Application... and set the Alias, Application Pool & Physical Path.
Wix does not allow me to set these properties on an IIS:WebApplication, further more it looks like I need to use a IIS:WebVirtualDir, but I don't want or need to do this. I simply need to point the Physical Path attribute to where my API is installed for this to work.
Why can't I tell the WiX IIS:WebApplication the Alias & Path that I want as per the IIS UI?
Of all the WiX work I have done, I would have thought this would have been one of the easier things to do.
Note: I want to create the Application, I don't want or need to create the Site - it's already there.
You can achieve the specified goals with WIX. I have even more complex variant: installing either to new Web site or existing one, for IIS 6, IIS 7 and IIS 7.5.
As for installing into existing web site, WIX identifies the site based on SiteId. If your site has non-autogenerated ID, you need to specify it explicitly instead of setting * in the corresponding field. Otherwise siteId is generated based on it's Description attribute, so you need to specify description correctly to reference the existing site.
Here follows my implementation (I hope you can extract what you need from it):

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...
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>
The entire sample, adapted from the WiX tutorial, can be found below:
