Hello,
I've been working on our desktop installer for our Windows Mobile

Nope, NSIS is completely independent of the Windows Installer so you don't get
a smooth interaction between the two... and no transactional support.

A verbose log file of the uninstall should show you what Components are being
uninstalled and should tell you which WebSite is being nuked. Remember, that
WebSites are found by the WebAddress tuple so if that matched the default web
site at uninstall, that's what got uninstalled.
