Tip:You can configure an IIS setting dynamically at run time through the use of Windows Installer public properties (in Basic MSI, DIM, InstallScript MSI, and Merge Module projects) or text substitution string variables (in InstallScript projects). This enables you to let end users specify the name of the virtual directory, the TCP port, the site number, or other IIS settings for the Web sites, applications, virtual directories, application pools, and Web service extensions that they are installing on the target machine. To learn more, see Using Windows Installer Properties to Dynamically Modify IIS Settings and Using InstallScript Text Substitution to Dynamically Modify IIS Settings.
