Hello all-
I'm getting occasional (and increasingly frustrating) issues with IIS Web
Site/applications and IIS Application Pools in IIS when using a WiX 3.0 Created
MSI package where the sites/app pools are getting installed on the wrong level
of the metabase then not uninstalling properly, causing reinstalls/upgrades to
fail. (installing to a Windows 2003 Server x64bit running IIS 6.0)
Example (using adsutil ENUM /p W3SVC/3):
IIS Metabase (Correct)-
W3SVC/3/Root
W3SVC/3/Filters
IIS Metabase (Incorrect)-
W3SVC/3/Root
W3SVC/3/Filters
W3SVC/3/W3SVC
When I look under the last path ( adsutil ENUM /p W3SVC/3/W3SVC) it is showing
W3SVC/3/w3svc/3
Because of this, it is not fully uninstalling the site when the MSI is getting
uninstalled.
I had the same issue with App Pools in IIS to the point where I took that part
out of the WiX MSI and separated it into a C# application. I don't want to do
that with the website because if I do, at that point, the MSI will just be a
glorified xCopy.
Any help will be appreciated. Code snippet (with names slightly changed) is
provided below.
Thanks
Pierson
