Install

When I create a web MSI for IIS (Basic MSI), the folder does not install into the wwwroot directory.

In the General Information section, the INSTALLDIR variable is correctly set to "[IISROOTFOLDER]MyWebSite".

In the Internet Information Services view, under Web Sites, the "Content Source Path [Local or UNC]" property contains the variable "[INSTALLDIR]".

And in System Search, IISROOTFOLDER is correctly retrieved from the registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot". The MinorVersion and MajorVersion variables are also being retrieved.

Am I missing something?

I am using InstallShield 2025 R1 Premier Edition.

I also tried using IISScan.exe to retrieve information about a website, but it returns the error: "The website 'MyWebSite' was not found."

I am upgrading a project from 1.30.0 to 1.30.01, I have changed the Product Version and Product Code. When I install on a new computer all good. When I install previous version 1.30, and the install 1.30.01, the correct information is added to Installed Apps, but when I look in the Application folder, all files related to the previous version are removed. New txt files are added ok. In the msi log, I can see FeatureUnpublish being logged and this is taking away the application files. I imagine the feature is being removed, there are no changes in features needed. Any help please ?
