Please help. Thanks.

Re: Create a Website/ Application pool using Advanced Installer

Hello and welcome to the Advanced Installer Forums,

You can use the sample project from this user guide article as a starting point.

All the setting fields and names( app. pools, bindings, etc ) from the IIS Page are formatted type, so you can reference public properties which will be resolved from user input. This is exemplified in the sample project with the web site name, which is set through a "SetProperty" published event dispatched by the Next button from the BrowseIIS dialog( SetProperty user guide how to ).

All the best,
Mihai
