Create IIsWebDirectory instead of IIsWebVirtualDir
I'm making an install and the ASP.NET developer has requested that a given folder ( /_mgmt ) have Anonymous Access turned off.
I created a VDIR using the IIS view but this causes an Application Name to be created which causes an .aspx fiel to raise an exception.
I need to either
1) Create the VDIR with the application in the `Removed` state
or
2) Create a Web Directory instead of a Virtual Directory.
Can InstallShield support this requirement without writing script custom actions? I've been hacking around in the ISIISCommon table but without much success.

From what I read this isn't supported. It's a good thing that I've been able to get my ASP.NET developer to refactor his design a little.

Just in case anyone is searching, I'm assuming this is already addressed (although not yet implemented) here:
http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=165748&highlight=iis
Glancing at the code, the problem seems to be that we call AppCreate for every virtual directory.

I try to really avoid CA's ( IIS CA's in particular ) whenever I can because of the underlying complexity and testing requirements. IIS is even more fun with it's different versions.
In the end I was able to get the ASP.NET developer to refactor a little bit to accomodate the environment that InstallShield is capable of producing. It's not ideal but in the end, it works.
