Other IIS Properties not set

Jump to solution

Hello,

I have a setup that changes IIS settings .

I have configured my IIS App so that inOther IIS properties the option EnableParentPaths is set to TRUE.

But after the installation, the option in IIS remains FALSE.

All options in the property Grid are set correctly.

Installsheild 2022 R2, test on Windows server 2016 and 2022.

and there is nothing strange in the IS log:

Hi @gcmichel 

Could you please explain are you seeing any issue on installation time?

I understand you are seeing this issue only in server 2016 and 2022 machines, which means its working fine in win10 machines correct?

hi,

I only test on Windows Server because my application doesn't work on Win10-11.

Hi @gcmichel,

Thank you for your post.

Here is a link to documentation that I found, which discusses the IISPREFERLEGACYOBJECTS MSI property:

https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallShield-Knowledge-Base/Using-Microsoft-Internet-Information-Services-IIS-6-and-Earlier/ta-p/4604

Please review this documentation and let us know what you think.

Hope this helps.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Hi Ian,

The article sadly on which case this option should be used.

adding to this, , on my website configurations, when I want to use "Other IIS Properties", the online document does not indicate that IISPREFERLEGACYOBJECTS=1 has to be added.

the documentation only says :  Note ā€¢ The other IIS property settings apply to IIS 6 and earlier. IIS 7 ignores these settings.

We have spent a lot of time finding this solution because the document is not clear.

Hi @gcmichel,

Thank you for your reply.

Please accept our apologies for the confusion and any frustration.

What happens when you set IISPREFERLEGACYOBJECTS to 1, rebuild your project, then retest this issue? What happens when you set IISPREFERLEGACYOBJECTS to 0, rebuild your project, then retest this issue?

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

I tested the option, it works, but breaks the IIS application pool settings.

I have a choice between the website problem or the pool problem.
