First, create a custom action that executes the following code (VBScript)
actions should run in immediate mode
then, create two Properties
WEBSITE and WEBSITES
on a form of your choise, add a combobox, and bind it to the property WEBSITES
(important!)
in your Internet Information Services settings, create a default website, as port number you select something random and in site number enter [WEBSITES]
this is the approach that works for me, I compiled it using different posts on the internet,
please not that I do not guarantee a bullet proof setup using this..
not sure on how to do Virtual directories, but a similar approach might be feasable.
actions should run in immediate mode
DIM strServer, strServerType, strServerMetaType
DIM objService
dim msiView,strProp
Const msiViewModifyInsertTemporary = 7
strServer = "localhost"
strServerType = "Web"
strServerMetaType = "W3SVC"
Set objService = GetObject( "IIS://" & strServer & "/" & strServerMetaType )
set msiView = Database.OpenView("SELECT * from ComboBox")
strProp = "WEBSITES"
DIM objServer, strBindings
r = 0
FOR EACH objServer IN objService
IF objServer.Class = "IIs" & strServerType & "Server" THEN
r = r + 1
AddComboItem msiView,strProp,r,objServer.Name,objServer.ServerComment
END IF
NEXT
msiView.Close
function AddComboItem(msiView,strProp,nIndex,strValue,strText)
dim rec
set rec = Installer.CreateRecord(4)
rec.StringData(1) = strProp
rec.IntegerData(2) = nIndex
rec.StringData(3) = strValue
rec.StringData(4) = strText
msiView.Modify msiViewModifyInsertTemporary,rec
end function

Hi,
i would like to do the same thing but that's doesn't work !!!
I have to create a basic msi project add a custom action vb in store binary table. this custom action is on immediate execution.
On the readytoinstall dialog, i've add a combo box with the property => [WEBSITES].
I have add a button on this dialog with a doAction for execute the custom action when i click on the button.
For Argument i have add the name of the custom action vb and condition is set to 1 !
On property manager i have add this property [WEBSITE] with the value 0.
On internet information service, i have add a web site with the name default web site. For site number i have enter 123 and for site number [WEBSITES]
I build the project and run, when i click on the button on ready to install there is nothing on the combobox !!!!
Something is wrong but if someone can tell me what !?
Thanks for all
Christophe

you only need one perporty [WebSite] and change the [WebSites] to [WebSites] in vbs, make sure the combobox is bind with [WebSite], set custom action run after SetupCompleteSuccess and before InstallWelcome, this custom is work on my project.
