Installing SSL website on IIS 7.5 using Wix 3.0

InstallerGeek created the topic: installing SSL website on IIS 7.5 using Wix 3.0
Hello,

I am trying to install a SSL website on a Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 box using an existing certificate.
The cert gets installed on the machine but does not get attached to the website SSL bindings. Post installation, if I manually attach the cert to the SSL bindings of the site, the website works.

NOTE: I am using Wix 3.0 here.

Also, I was looking through the archive mails and I found a mail chain stating that cert fixes not ported to WiX v3.
www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sou…ge.net/msg04373.html . However this is a 2006 mail chain. Would like to know if the issue is still open. If yes, then is there a work around because we are planning to WiX for production deployment.

Below is my code snippet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That mail thread is out of date – WiX 3.0 RTM (and 3.5) should have all fixes that existed in WiX 2.0 (and in fact additional bugfixes as well).

The IIS7+ support works completely differently on WiX 3.5 and above – have you tried building your product with the latest build of WiX 3.5, to see if that solves the problem?

If it doesn’t solve the problem, file a bug on sourceforge against v3.5, attach a repro (make sure to exclude any sensitive things from your authoring, if there are any), and attach a verbose MSI log of the install which didn’t seem to work.
