There were bugs that were fixed in the last couple months around this sort of
thing. I highly recommend you get the latest stable build.

When every we see these messages, most of the times, the web sites are not
created. But install completes successfully. When we try to uninstall of the
product it fail because the sites are not present. Any work around to avoid
this situation?
Thanks,
Surendra

IIS has this strange locking behavior on Metabase keys that would often mess
with deployment (since we often touch so many different keys). What you're
seeing is an informational message that a retry was necessary and if things
proceeded without failure then that last retry was successful.

Hi all,
We create a MSI which configures couple of websites and application pools. Some
time the installer fail to create the Websites without any errors. But we see
the following messages in the MSI log when this happens, but setup completes
successfully.
WriteMetabaseChanges: failed to open '/LM/W3SVC/4/' key, retrying 0 time(s)...
Are there any specific reasons for this error messages? Why setup fail or
rollback in this when WriteMetabaseChanges: failed to open '/LM/W3SVC/4/' key?
Thanks,
Surendra
