Hello all,

If IIS is not setup in a machine, the web application set up crashes while installation.
Is there a way to find whether IIS is set up already and warn the user if not?

Thanks in advance

Is the 'user' going to install the web application ? I think some professional guy who has the knowledge of deployment and IIS does it.. Am I right?

Solution 2

Handle the exception in your code and depending upon the exception occurred , display the error message on your installation wizard.

I heard that, we can use "launch condition" property of set up wizard to achieve my requirement, but when I tried it it didn't work for me. condition=^IISINSTALLED4CONFIG = "NoIIS"^ . this is the code i have used.
can you look into it?

If you want us to look into it, you need to post the code for the installer

I have solved this by using launch condition property of visual studio set up wizard.
