Setting website name during installation

Hi,
How to create custom dialog to set website name and switch iis application pool during web app installation? This options is available during installation in web deployment project in VS2010, may be it possible to use this standard dialog in installschield? My project is basic MSI.

As far as I know, InstallShield does not provide a dialog that would allow the user to set a website name or application pool. In the past I've had to create the dialog and write all the custom actions to support it. For instance a dialog that allows the user to select an existing applicaton pool or create a new one will have to have a custom action that populates a combobox with existing application pools. This custom action will have to work for all the IIS versions you support. Hope this gives you an idea of the work ahead of you.

Thank you. I created custom dialog and use vbscript for populating combobox with iis app pools.
