Can the following be put into batch commands? If not, is there an alternative where the configuration can be set through an executable without the user having to configure through IIS?
the simplest solution is to include .aspx into the controller name. so the controller is in the following format
{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}.
You might be able to set those properties with the GET and SET commands of the Adsutil.vbs script (which works with IIS 5.1, would probably be in the directory C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\).
I tried a little poking around, and couldn't figure out which keys were needed. But you might be able to figure them out using the Metabase Explorer (from the IIS 6.0 ResKit, or here is a third-party version which I haven't tried).
I have been researching this topic as well and first of all I don't agree with the votes down moderators for a perfectly valid question with research done by the asker. Second the answer is no you cannot put IIS commands in a executable the whole point of IIS is that you set it up once and you are done so just set it up correctly the first time and you should be good also that tutorial you are looking at is rubbish. Just my 2 cents!

I have made a few setup projects in my time, but this is a first for using User Settings. I may be using the wrong "words" when searching since I cannot be the only person with this issue.
The user settings I am talking about, are the settings you define in the Project Properties -> Settings. They work like a charm inside VS, but when I make the installer (using the free setup project extension, not the WiseInstaller LE that is included) and run the EXE, nothing takes.
I tried including the settings.settings file, and the App.Config file but that idea did not work.
What am I doing wrong? If I need to convert these to registry entries, then I need to do a lot of recoding. These are scoped to User, not Application.
Thanks,
Dave
I figured it out, it had nothing to do with the setup project, but rather my code flow. The settings form first tried to connect to the DB, since the connection information is entered on that form, it threw a cannot find error, so thinking that is what it should do, I hit continue. Well I was a bit wrong.
That error kind of made the form stop working since the information comes after the DB connection. I added a trap, and changed the code flow and all is good again.
Thanks

I configured ApiGen on Windows and am trying generate documentation from NetBeans. Everything runs well after many errors, however I have a mistake, which is my destination is my desk from my pc. How can I change this? Whenever I try to generate documentation it never asks me for the destination again.
I tried uninstall NetBeans I do all again, but nothing.
My error is the destination of my documentation.
Current NetBeans ApiGen plugin doesn't work with the new ApiGen v4. If you need to generate documentation using ApiGen, you can use command line to get it working, or use other tools like phpDoc which is working fine from the NetBeans IDE.
You need to right click on the project, select Properties and look for documentation setting and change the folder there. Uninstalling NetBeans won't make any difference as this setting is stored in project as such.
To get an idea, have a look at https://blogs.oracle.com/netbeansphp/entry/apigen_support_added, on the 2nd picture. It might look a bit different now, but you should get the idea.
I have an installer I am modifying where we are modifying a web site in IIS. The requirements state that the end user must create the site first in IIS. We read the site information they choose from a dropdown in the installer for their site, and store the information in properties in WiX.
I have a WebSite element under a component, and have the ConfigureIfExists set to yes. A lot of this seems to be working great, it resets the directory of the site to where the website is on the drive.
The problem is that when I check the set up in IIS, the web site is not started, even when I have AutoStart = yes and StartOnInstall = yes. The problem I am seeing is that, since it is an existing web site, it creates a duplicate binding for the site, same port and everything, which is causing the site not to run.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or how to resolve it? I need it to not duplicate the binding so that the web site can be restarted when installation is complete.
I advise you to try this scenario with WiX v3.6 (take the latest available build). There were lots of fixes in IIS7 extension, and it's very likely your problem will just go away.
EDIT: now WiX 3.6 is in official beta. It is quite stable and contains lots of fixes to IIS extension.
I had a similar problem. I was able to work around it with the following method, but be advised, it is kind of a hack.
For my existing website, I match it on SiteId and set whatever configuration properties I want to change with the WebDirProperties attribute. Then, in the iis:WebAddress element, I set the Port number to some unused port (I used 8081). This will add an extra http binding in IIS7 (as you saw in your question). Then, I create a custom action that I run before InstallFinalize. The custom action basically loops through the site Bindings, looks for the one that matches the bogus port that I entered in wix and deletes it. Then the custom action starts the website and everything is good.
This was the only way I could find to get it to work in Wix 3.5. It is not the best method, but it worked for me.
I'm currently working on some R&D for improving the process and practice that we approach development.
As a first iteration something I'd like to do is develop an easy way to set up a project e.g. Run an ant script that will, when provided with a project name etc,
Copy a template in svn
Create a database (if needed)
Automatically update the connection strings in config/properties files
Create an instance of trac
Email the user with all this information
I'm fine with the first 4 but I'm struggling to get a good process together for setting up Trac.
I've done it manually before but found it incredibily difficult.
Does anyone know of such a set up script or have any tips on doing this?
Cheers,
Rob
Have you looked at bitnami?
See the Trac bitnami bundle for example
Our VSS setup is like this: We have a set of unique folders with 100s of files in them. I need to, from within VBScript, get the latest version of all files in a set of folders and put them into a local directory so that other operations can be performed on them.
The reason for VBScript is, well, vague even to me. Perhaps VB or C# .NET will work as well, but for now I can only do it from within VBScript.
Is this doable?
Yes, you can try the VSS automation interface, or if that doesn't work, just shell out to the VSS command line.
This link as some sample code that may get you started.
