InstallShield 2012: Cryptic error code IISRT: -1204

Try to finish up an install script that I haven't touched in about 3 weeks. Install was working last time I tried but now getting error. It seems to have something to do with ISIISCosting but Google has been no help.

MSI (s) (D0:54) [11:09:53:273]: Doing action: ISIISCosting
Action start 11:09:53: ISIISCosting.
MSI (s) (D0:F8) [11:09:53:341]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer  \MSI30AF.tmp, Entrypoint: ISIISCosting
MSI (s) (D0!14) [11:09:53:403]: Note: 1: 2711 2:  
InstallShield 11:09:53: Error with IISRT: -1204
CustomAction ISIISCosting returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 11:09:53: ISIISCosting. Return value 3.
Action ended 11:09:53: INSTALL. Return value 3.

I restarted the IIS server and I know it is working as prior to this error we query the IIS server for a list of Web Sites and display them in a panel.

Found out that -1204 = ERROR_IISRT_INVALID_VROOTCOMPNAME

IIS issue or InstallShield issue?

There isn't any InstallScript involved here, just how you define the website and InstallShield's built in custom actions ( cost, rollback, install, commit, uninstall type stuff ) going through that data and passing it onto IIS.

My guess would be that the data is using special characters or something that isn't allowed. It's hard to say without seeing the data. The log doesn't tell enough.
