Change IIS Authentication programmatically

Question

Advanced Installer IIS application setup page has a subpage where I can select IIS Authentication mode before building the setup. I have selected Windows Authentication for now, which is then "hardcoded" into the setup file somehow.

But under certain circumstances only known at install time, a different authentication mode (Anonymous or Basic) should be set up.

How could I do so, during installation, programmatically?

Have you tried this method?

The only way for now it seems to be by duplicating the website, but changing the authentication method, and setting an installation condition on both websites.

I have tried to duplicate the application, but AI does not allow two applications with the same name. The app should be installed in the Default Web Site, but I cannot duplicate the Default Web Site.

use a public property for the name of the second one, that should bypass the unique name check

I now have done that. I have configured the property IISPROPERTY to hold the value myapplication, but the IIS configures an application with the name Property.IISPROPERTY...

I found the issue to be an unused dialog in the dialogs tab. If I added the dialog to the list of used dialogs or removed it from the installer altogether, it would work. Weird issue.
