Hi @pokkireddy,

You can add the new tag to web.config file through the "XML File Changes" view in  InstallShield. 

As well InstallShield IIS view is having a setting to configure the application session time out :

Session Timeout (minutes)

Specify the number of minutes that a session can remain idle before the server terminates it automatically. If the end user does not refresh or request a page within the timeout period, the session ends. The default value is 20 minutes.

HI,

This is not session timeout

 

i need to modify the config file from c":\\windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config "

so cannot use "XML File Changes"

 

Please share the installshield script to add the new tag.

Hi @pokkireddy,

In that case, you have to write your own custom action to update the "applicationHost.config" file and sequence it after InstallShield configure your web sites.
