Installing the IIS Web Application

Hi, I am trying to install a web application using WIX. I'm not sure if what I have is correct, but I am getting this error in my log files:

My wxs file:

    <ComponentGroup Id='IISConfig'>

<Component Id='WebAppPool' Guid='5EC0510D-BE49-4FE9-9572-5695DB9BD343' Directory='INSTALLLOCATION'>
  <CreateFolder/>
  <iis:WebAppPool Id="WebAppPool" Name="DefaultAppPool" />

  <iis:WebSite Id='DefaultWebSite' Description='Default Web Site' Directory='INSTALLLOCATION' WebApplication='WebApplication'>
    <iis:WebAddress Id='AllUnassigned' Port='80' />
    <iis:WebDirProperties Id='WebDirProperties' Execute='yes'/>
  </iis:WebSite>
</Component>


<Component Id='WebVirtualDirComponent' Guid='52D0B071-0801-4B93-8C8F-F5FC92DD8D8F' Directory='INSTALLLOCATION'>
  <CreateFolder/>
  <iis:WebVirtualDir Id='WebVirtualDir' Alias='[PRODUCTNAME]' Directory='INSTALLLOCATION' WebSite='DefaultWebSite'>
    <iis:WebDirProperties Id='WebVirtualDirProperties' Execute='yes' WindowsAuthentication='yes'/>
    <iis:WebApplication Id='WebApplication' Name='[PRODUCTNAME]' WebAppPool='WebAppPool'>
      <iis:WebApplicationExtension Extension='dll' Executable='[#mod_Gsoap.dll]' CheckPath='yes' Script='yes'/>
    </iis:WebApplication>
  </iis:WebVirtualDir>
</Component>


</ComponentGroup>

Any log file of mine:

MSI (s) (90:C4) [14:48:38:200]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=WriteIIS7ConfigChanges,ActionType=11265,Source=BinaryData,Target=**********,CustomActionData=**********)
MSI (s) (90:AC) [14:48:38:216]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIAB38.tmp, Entrypoint: WriteIIS7ConfigChanges
WriteIIS7ConfigChanges:  Error 0x80040154: Failed to open AppHostWritableAdminManager to configure IIS7
WriteIIS7ConfigChanges:  Error 0x80040154: WriteIIS7ConfigChanges Failed.
CustomAction WriteIIS7ConfigChanges returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 14:48:38: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

I would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction .. :)

This error message means that the IIS7 COM object to write to IIS configuration is not registered correctly on the computer. Not sure what is the best way to fix the problem, but you can try repairing (or uninstalling / installing) IIS.

In my case, IIS was not installed at all. D'o.
