Hi, I found today I was facing a similar problem to that described in this post:
Ziegelwanger, Silvio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2007-03-05 11:57 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=B710F3299F04664DB6B37C258FDEEB943D2E3F%40FABAMAIL.fabagl.fabasoft.com I'm trying to provide a dialog with a checkbox, which in its checked state sets a virtual directory I create to Windows Authentication mode and unchecked sets the virtual directory to Anonymous authentication. I've had some success.. though I'm not entirely there.. Hoping someone out there could help me out. Rob suggests in the above post that since attributes of the <iis:WebDirProperties/> element can not be set to properties (i.e. AnonymousAccess= "yes", "no" but not "[AllowAnon]"), the only way to work around this currently is to include two components and condition one out. Still being a wix (and win installer) noob, I've tried doing this by creating my own C++ DLL custom action which calls MsiSetComponentState and sets the relevant (i.e. the unwanted of the two) component to INSTALL_ABSENT. I've defined this in Wix as below: <CustomAction Id="DisableComponentAction" BinaryKey="BCC.WixCustomActions" DllEntry="SetComponentDisabled" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> ... <!-- ALLOWANONYMOUS IS THE PROPERTY SET BY THE CHECKBOX IN THE INSTALLER UI --> <Custom Action="SetAnonymousDisabled" Before="DisableComponentAction">ALLOWANONYMOUS <> "yes"</Custom> <Custom Action="SetWinAuthDisabled" Before="DisableComponentAction">ALLOWANONYMOUS = "yes"</Custom> <Custom Action="DisableComponentAction" Before="InstallValidate"/> ... </InstallExecuteSequence> This appears to work just fine on installation - the virtual directory is created successfully and directory security is set to Anonymous or Windows Authenticated based on the user's selection in the installer UI. However, by doing this I've introduced a problem such that the installer no longer removes components on uninstallation. I get a bunch of lines in the installer log as below: MSI (c) (64:54) [15:08:29:574]: Disallowing uninstallation of component: {GUID} since another client exists This happens if I take the installer and install/uninstall onto a new, clean PC.. Is there a way I can diagnose what exactly is causing this? I've tried hunting through HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer and elsewhere in the registry but the referenced GUIDs don't seem to appear as keys/values/other anywhere in the registry of an affected PC.
