Deployment to IIS website

[MarkStega]

Is there an example of using WiX4 to deploy an IIS website? If there was a development dojo episode that would be great but certainly someone's blog would also work. Unfortunately, when I Google search there are tons of hits on the WiX web builder, not so much on WiX4.

I have a FOSS project called IsWiX which has support for just this. You can search for iswix-tutorials and you'll find examples for web.

Exactly what you need to do depends on what you are deploying to iis. For example asp.net core will require also creating a bootstrapper to make sure that the hosting bundle is installed.

Chris,

Thanks for the reference, I am working on understanding the installer now. I have a controlled set of environments so I know that the prerequisites (.Net 8 and IIS) are present so I can do a bit of simplification.

IIS configuration has not changed from WiX v3 to WiX v4. All the documentation from WiX v3 about IIS should still be relevant.
