IIRC, the IS course runs for 3 days. Somehow, I don't think anyone would manage to get its content condensed into a forum post. There may be training material on Acresso's web site but your best option is to get your employer to spring for a course. You *can* learn as you go, but it'll be painful (ask me how I know...)
The project you have been given is, frankly, beyond your level of current knowledge. Although IS can create virtual directories, the rest (application pools, etc) will require external resources, probably in script. MSDN has code snippets for creating VDs and APs but putting it all together is, again, a major exercise. You will then need to incorporate the script(s) into your package.

installshield is not the product you want for this.
sounds to me like your in a development cycle where WiX would be more suitable for such a project. Is this application under development at the moment ?

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
