Wix RegistryKey Permission - security

I am attempting to install a registry key that should only be accessible by certain users. Every other part of the installer works (it installs a service and registers a component). Here is the fragment.
<Component Id="cmpXXX" Guid="{YYY}">
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="Software\ZZZ" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryKey Key="Machine" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<Permission User="Administrators" GenericAll="yes" />
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="ID" Value="SecretID" />
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Key" Value="SecretKey" />
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
When the installer is complete, all users can read the key (instead of just administrators). My command line to install is this:
msiexec /i installer.msi /l*v installlog.txt
The log says nothing about permissions.
When I open the database in Orca, the LockPermissions table shows the permission row and it looks fine.
What am I doing wrong?

It seemed to start working after I added the permission entry to each RegistryValue.
<Component Id="cmpXXX" Guid="{YYY}">
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="Software\ZZZ" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryKey Key="Machine" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<Permission User="Administrators" GenericAll="yes" />
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="ID" Value="SecretID">
<Permission User="Administrators" GenericAll="yes" />
</RegistryValue>
<RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Key" Value="SecretKey">
<Permission User="Administrators" GenericAll="yes" />
</RegistryValue>
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
But it has the side effect of locking down the entire Software\ZZZ key. Less than ideal, but I can work around that.

If you create values in multiple components, or you create intermediate keys (Software\XXX and Software\XXX\YYY) make sure that all the and have a child element.

WixToolset directory structure copy

I have a task to create installation for nodejs web application. I have found the solution to compress the whole application copy it as one file with Wix and extract it with wix custom actions. This works. But its downside is that targt server has to have compressing software installed. In this case 7z.
Watching other installations, they are extracting files with out any external software.
I have investigate a wix a bit it says that I should use HEAT, nut I am not sure what it that. There any simple start examples, where I can understand it conceptually. I have found out also that other guys out there have slow learning curve on Wix. I am quite serious in learning this but I need a little push. I would like to start from this example.
How to whole folder copy with wix? or what it best practice with. Maybe some compressing with out third party software.
EDIT:
Here is how my wixproj file looks like:

What I am doing is manually compressing node application into file some_service.tar.gz, then I copy it as a single file, and extract it in custom actions. Of course that is wrong. I would like to have just nodejsdir on the same place as some_service.tar.gz and copy it with heat.exe
I must admit I find this quite confusing, if you could help me please based on my example.
Thank you.
Heat is just the harvesting tool included in wix. You can use it to harvest hundreds of files automatically if you have the directory structure on your build machine that you want to replicate on the install machine.
If your included files change rather frequently, setting up a heat task to run every build is something you should do. If the files included are rather static and you only add/remove or move some files infrequently, use heat to generate the first WXS with all the files and then manually update it when required.
Don't forget that the msi already compresses all the files it includes, there's no reason to compress all the files into a zip then include that into your msi only to unpack it after "installing" it. You just end up taking way too much space unnecessarily on the customer's machine and may fail to install since the MSI cannot properly do the file costing and may run out of disk space when unpacking.
You also forego all the useful file tracking and handling features of the windows installer when you use a zip containing all your files. Uninstalling requires extra steps, upgrading is basically impossible to do nicely. You can't roll back during a failure.
I harvest the "help" directory for our product with a "BeforeBuild" task of my wixproj.
I have a file called genComponents.targets which contains
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\CommonBuild.props" Condition="$(_CommonBuildPropertyLoaded) != 'true'"/>
<PropertyGroup>
<HeatEXE>$(WixToolPath)Heat.exe</HeatEXE>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="GenHelpDependsOn">
<PropertyGroup>
<HelpHeatArgs>dir "$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\..\Help" -gg -cg BinHelp -dr BINHELP -template fragment -sreg -sfrag -srd -var var.dirHELP -o "$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Components\BinHelp.wxs"</HelpHeatArgs>
</PropertyGroup>
</Target>
<Target Name="GenBinHelp" DependsOnTargets="GenHelpDependsOn">
<Exec Command=""$(HeatEXE)" $(HelpHeatArgs)" Condition="!Exists('$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Components\BinHelp.wxs')"/>
</Target>
</Project>
And just use
<Target Name="BeforeBuild" DependsOnTargets="GenBinHelp" />
in my wixproj which will generate the wxs for the BinHelp component group for the directory with all the help files. There's a thousand or so help files for all the languages we support.
In the wixproj I add the wxs as a link and just make sure it is included in a feature as a ComponentGroupRef.
You can just include an <Exec> task in your beforebuild task with all the correct arguments I just use a second file because I have many heat tasks. There are lots of different arguments to heat and you can take a look at them with heat /? to see them.
Just run heat.exe on your js dir and see what it looks like.
In one project where I harvest all files with heat has 3836 files in it. Here's the process for the build. I grab the zip file of built binaries and other files from a network location and unzip all the file contents into a folder that I called ZipFolder.
In my wixproj I put a heat call in the before build target
<Target Name="BeforeBuild" >
<Exec Command=""$(WixToolPath)Heat.exe" dir "$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\Binaries\ZipFolder" -ag -cg SDK -dr INSTALLDIR -suid -sreg -sfrag -srd -var var.ZipFolderDir -o "$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\src\InstallerSDK\Components\SDKFiles.wxs"" Condition="!Exists('$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\src\InstallerSDK\Components\SDKFiles.wxs')" />
</Target>
and in my wixproj I add an existing file SDKFiles.wxs as a link (small arrow on Add button shows drop down with "as link")
I'm using a few cmd line switches that you don't have defined in your heat call which I use so that I can reference the generated file's components properly. Firstly I use -var var.ZipFolderDir and this makes the source of your files equal to $(var.ZipFolderDir)\rest\of\path.dll. And you can just define this variable in your defineconstants (one for each configuration):
<DefineConstants>Debug;ZipFolderDir=$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\Binaries\ZipFolder\;</DefineConstants>
<DefineConstants>ZipFolderDir=$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\Binaries\ZipFolder\;</DefineConstants>
The other difference is also using -dr INSTALLFOLDER which will set the top level Directory to be INSTALLFOLDER which is defined by your INSTALLFOLDER directory in the product.wxs.
Finally there is -cg SDK defining the name of the component group which holds all the files harvested by heat. Here is where we tie in to the main product.wxs with a ComponentGroupRef
<Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="SomeInstaller" Level="1">
<ComponentGroupRef Id="SDK" />
<ComponentGroupRef Id="ERMPanel.Binaries" />
<ComponentRef Id="comp_5D704CE7_9E55_4FC5_8CB2_6BA4612D6D35" />
<ComponentRef Id="comp_C9901889_BAD5_4B2C_9407_EAF967B1526C" />
<ComponentRef Id="comp_03332461_4D6C_4BB5_90D1_4C4D896D7775" />
<ComponentRef Id="comp_3AE770A3_904C_4458_81BD_300F195A4250" />
<ComponentRef Id="comp_dir_8F9BAB58_4415_4353_BE9E_36C8F7EEF78A" />
</Feature>
And you can remove your ProductComponents group at the bottom of the product.wxs
I've never used the <HarvestProject> but I do know wix has Harvest targets already defined but I never spent the time to figure out how to use them. I've also never used heat on a project either so I can't really help there. All my installer projects are built as their own separate projects due to the build process we use. Generally they grab a zip of binaries and unzip to a Binaries folder then build the installers calling heat on some folders.

When I compile this, I get the following error:
The ComponentGroup element contains an unexpected child element 'File'.
I have searched the bowels of the internet for a solution to this very basic problem. Why is VS2012 not recognising the element?
You should follow next hierarchy: ComponentGroup -> Component -> File and etc. In your example i suggest to you to put File element into separated component and then add this component into ComponentGroup. Try something like this:
<Component Directory="YOUR-DIRECTORY" Guid="your-guid" Id="SomeComponent">
<File Source="$(var.MyProject.TargetPath)"/>
</Component>
<ComponentGroup Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" Id="ProductComponents">
<ComponentRef Id="SomeComponent"/>
</ComponentGroup>
Read the TODO comment right above your <File Source>
You need to remove the comments around <Component Id="ProductComponent"> and </Component>.

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
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"

ManagedRuntimeVersion="v4.0"
IdleTimeout="0"
RecycleMinutes="0"
ManagedPipelineMode="integrated"/>
<iis:WebVirtualDir Id="VDir" Alias="[VD]" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" WebSite="SelectedWebSite">
<iis:WebApplication Id="NotizBrowserWebApp" WebAppPool="YourAppPoolName" Name="[VD][WEBSITE_ID]" />
<iis:WebDirProperties Id="NotizBrowserProps" AnonymousAccess="no" WindowsAuthentication="yes" DefaultDocuments="-" Execute="yes" Script="yes" Read="yes"/>
</iis:WebVirtualDir>
</Component>
</Fragment>
</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.

how to fix warning ICE39: Admin Image flag set in SummaryInfo stream

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)

Using WiX, how do I change a property of a subfolder of a virtual directory?

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>
