Basic MSI execute sequence for IIS
I am working with a Basic MSI project and im having a problem with the sequencing when it comes to when certain IIS things get installed. The project is installing/Enabling IIS on Windows 2008/20012.
I have 3 custom actions that enable the various Roles for the server(DotNet, WebServer, ApplicationServer) and these work fine on there own, but i cannot figure out the execution sequence that is used in the Basic MSI project.
From what i can see is in order to only have my custom action run when a condition is met, i have to place the custom actions after the 'InstallValidate' action, but then this gives me the 27500 error.

- If i put my custom actions at the beginning of the Execute sequence the installer works fine
- If i put my custom actions any lower in the sequence then i get the 27500 error. This means that IIS is not installed while the installer is tring to create virtual directories for IIS
- I have an AppSearch condition that looks for IIS and sets the IIS_VERSION variable, but what part of the sequence is actually in charge of the rest of the IIS installation?(i.i Website, Virtual Directories, etc)

So far from my digging deeper into it, looks like "ISIISCosting" was the culprit. I moved my Custom Actions before that and its working.
