InstallShield 2016
Project • This information applies to the following project types:
The Internet Information Services view in InstallShield is where you add an IIS Web site to your project. It is also where you can add applications and virtual directories to a Web site. Note that you can add a Web site without any applications or virtual directories if you associate the Web site with a component.
