Enabling IIS with Advanced Installer

I've created install-shield using Advance Installer. One of the features that my install-shield enabling is IIS.

I'm using this shield on customer's servers to check if required software is installed. If the software is not installed install-shield will install it. IIS is among those software.

I'm not shure how this IIS enabling is working. When no IIS is present on the machine install-shield enables it flawesly. But when it already enabled what happens then? Does install-shield will pass through without any action or it will enable the basic IIS features (features that would be enabled if the IIS were not existed).

I'm afraid to use this install-shield on customer server (where IIS is already installed) because I don't know what it will do. I'm afraid it will disable some IIS features that will affect the current server working state. I don't want to take any chances, I have to know if the install-shield just skips the IIS installation when it already installed or doing something else.

Thank you.

You should use the predefined support to install Windows Feature Bundles.

Using this support you can easily select which OS feature should be enabled and also set custom conditions. On our YouTube channel you can find examples/tutorials:
