"Check TCP Port" check for unused port on IIS and Apache?

Hello,
Does "Check TCP Port" checks for unused port on both IIS and Apache installed on the same machine?

For example: If port 80 is in use by Apache (or some other 3rd party Software) and "Check TCP Port " checks for port 80 on the IIS then our application will crash after the install.

If "Check TCP Port" checks only IIS, Please let me know if there is a way to check for unused port on the machine instead of the IIS.

Thank you.

Re: "Check TCP Port" check for unused port on IIS and Apache

Hello,

This custom action allows you to check if a TCP port is free or not on the target machine. What entity is using that port is completely irrelevant.

If the port is free, the custom action will set AI_PORT_TEST_RES property to FreePort.

Here's the Check TCP port user guide reference for more information.

All the best,
Mihai

Thanks Mihai. That's what I thought. Just making sure before getting into trouble. :D
