Add/Enable handler mapping in IIS 7/7.5 using WIX 3.5

WIX 3.5 works using IIS6 for adding wildcard but for IIS7/7.5 there are 2 problems.

  1. Handler Mappings is disabled by default

    • Have to navigate to "Edit Feature Permissions" and check "Scripts" to allow.

  2. Wildcard mapping is not added using the IISWixExtension library.

    • I need to do this manually for IIS7/7.5

The user will have no idea how to do the above. Yes, very non-technical people.

Cheers

Solution

  • Solved this by updating the web.config file with the appropriate tags that the UI will recognise. EASY!!
