Wix installer fails to create application pools in IIS 10

We are having trouble creating our app pools using wix. This problem happens only on server 2016 or iis version >10. This is the error with verbose log turned on. Its complaining about path not found or trying to access a path that has not been created or does not have permissions. The installer fails with rollback. 

  "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe" -norestart -s W3SVC/1/ROOT/INFO-SUITE
CAQuietExec:  Microsoft (R) ASP.NET RegIIS version 4.0.30319.0
CAQuietExec:  Administration utility to install and uninstall ASP.NET on the local machine.
CAQuietExec:  Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
CAQuietExec:  Start registering ASP.NET (4.0.30319.0) recursively at W3SVC/1/ROOT/MyApplication.
CAQuietExec:  Installation stopped because the specified path (W3SVC/1/ROOT/MyApplication) is invalid.
CAQuietExec:  Error 0x80070001: Command line returned an error.
CAQuietExec:  Error 0x80070001: CAQuietExec Failed

This is the wix xml which creates the app pool.The same installer msi works on windows 8. The IISMajorVersion is 10 according to the log. I also ran dsim enable feature IIS-ASPNET45 to make sure Asp.net is registered. I also checked the registry. THis is only when the wix creates the app pools. We don't have a problem when its an upgrade or we manaully create the app pools.

I took care of my own problem. The condition had to be = "10"]]> instead of = 10]]>
