IIS calls outside of apply install?

Post by jtjohnson »

Hi there,

Do the calls to Create IIS Virtual Directory and Delete IIS Virtual Directory need to take place before the Apply Install/uninstall commands?

Currently I've got them before the Apply commands, but IIS is logging an error saying the target directory doesn't exist yet...this makes sense since the files aren't there until after the Apply Install command has run. After the install has completed the Virtual Directory functions normally.

It seems logical then that they should go after the Apply command, but I want to double check that I'm not setting myself up for something to go wrong later if I do this.

Thanks,

James

Exactly - that's what you want to do. Black commands (with default syntax highlighting) execute directly, so it is safe to place them after Apply Install.
