My IIS version is: 10.0

Note: Source code is successfully copies [INSTALLDIR] of destination computer but it's not getting mapped with IIS.

Resolved

After adding APPLICATION inside WEBSITE issue has been resolved. Seems like just having WEBSITE in InstallShield is not enough.


Solution

  • This issue has been resolved by adding a Application inside Website.

    Seems like just having Website in Configure the Target System->Internet Information Services is not enough.

    Reason: InstallShield Limited Version does not support creating website outside default web sites.
