How to create application in IIS using Wix?

Question

I am beginner in MSI creation. I am using WIX 3.5.I want to create an application directory in IIS on installation of MSI. Currently I am using below code -

  <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
      <Directory Id="IISMain" Name="inetpub">
        <Directory Id="WWWMain" Name="wwwroot">
          <Directory Id="APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY" Name="ServicesTest"></Directory>
        </Directory>
      </Directory>
    </Directory>

But this code is creating virtual directory name - "ServicesTest", not application directory. How could I create an application directory using WIX?

Any reason you're using version 3.5 when 3.9 has been released more than a month ago? — user145400
