ConfigureIIs is not recognized in v4.01

[mvollmer1]

I have this configuration in my wxs file to run a custom action if a condition is met...

The VS build returns this error:

Error WIX0094 The identifier 'WixAction:InstallExecuteSequence/ConfigureIIs' could not be found. Ensure you have typed the reference correctly and that all the necessary inputs are provided to the linker.

Perhaps Wix does not recognize the ConfigureIIs built in action id?

I've checked the source for v3 & v4, the references for this are present in both...

source module: scasched.cpp

/********************************************************************
ConfigureIIs - CUSTOM ACTION ENTRY POINT for installing IIs settings

********************************************************************/

)

<Custom Action="MS.SetConfigureIIs" Before="ConfigureIIs" Condition="(&amp;ServiceFeature &lt; 3 AND &amp;ViewFeature &lt; 3) OR (!ServiceFeature &gt;= 3 AND !ViewFeature &gt;= 3)" />

ConfigureIIs isn't a built-in action. It comes from the WixToolset.Iis.wixext. You found the DLL entry point (good job!), but you're looking for the Id of the CustomAction element that calls that entry point. I won't spoil the learning experience. You're very close to connecting all the dots. 👍🏻

In v4, the name of the ConfigureIIs is Wix4ConfigureIIs_X86 or Wix4ConfigureIIs_X64. You can use $(sys.BUILDARCHSHORT) for the architecture: Wix4ConfigureIIs_$(sys.BUILDARCHSHORT)
