I have a hierarchy of Directory elements in a WiX script.
I also have a component that creates a virtual directory (using IIS:WebVirtualDir), which points to the root of my Directory hierarchy.
How do I change a property (e.g. AnonymousAccess) of a subfolder of the virtual directory, e.g.
MyVirtualDir <<< this is the virtual directory root
MyVirtualDir\MySubFolder <<< this is the subfolder for which I wish to change a property using WebDirProperties
Please note that I do not wish to create a new virtual directory for the subfolder. I only wish to change a few security settings.
The current script is too big to post here, but take a look at the WiX tutorial: 5.3 Web Directory. Suppose in that example that there was another Directory element named "MySubFolder" nested within the "InstallDir" element. What would then be the next step in order to set properties for "MySubFolder" without turning it into a virtual directory?
