Property Based Virtual Directory

[Phobos]

Hi,

I would like to specify the name for a virtual directory during installation, however, it seems I cannot use a property fir the virtual directory name.

How can this be done?

Hi,

I'm afraid that currently this is not possible, but this feature is on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Hi Cosmin,

Hi,

I'm afraid that I cannot give you an ETA for now because this feature will not be implemented in the near future.

Hi,

would it be possible to rename the virtual directory at the end of the installation? I thought about a vbscript, maybe you have a script example how this would work?
Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, this can be done using a custom action.

The custom action will be "Deferred with no impersonation" (set in the "Properties" page of the custom action) and it will be scheduled under the "InstallIIS" standard action (to show it you can use the "Show Standard Action" button on the toolbar).

maybe you have a script example how this would work?

Unfortunately I don't have a script example and I'm not sure how exactly this custom action will look like.
