I am using the following code to install a web application. It creates the virtual directory just fine, but doesn’t convert the virtual directory in application. I am running IIS 7
I have searched a lot but couldn’t find anything different in order to make an application of virtual directory. Can someone point what’s wrong with the following code?

    <Component Id="WebAppVDirComponent"
               Guid="C7A4B0E8-2389-4A2A-B285-96960BEE1C51"
               KeyPath="yes">
      <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="VDir"
                         Alias="[WEB_APP_NAME]"
                         Directory="INSTALLDIR"
                         WebSite="TheWebSite" >

        <!-- Turn the Virtual Directory into a web application. -->
        <iis:WebApplication Id="WebApplication"
                            Name="[WEB_APP_NAME])"
                            WebAppPool="TheAppPool"/>
      </iis:WebVirtualDir>
      <CreateFolder/>
    </Component>
