I am running into an uninstall issue with IIS.
The scenario is:
-We use the IIS extension to create a vdir upon install.
-After install and before uninstall, an admin changes the name of the vdir.
-From then on, uninstalls fail (presumably since they can no longer find the
vdir in the IIS metabase).
Note that if the admin does not rename the vdir, then the uninstall succeeds
fine.
Also note that I have tried conditioning the IIS component with a command
line property, and while the MSI log does show the correct property value
(from the command line), the IIS component's condition does not appear to be
evaluated on uninstall. Instead, the uninstall still fails when it doesn't
find the metabase entry for the original, installed vdir name.
It would be ideal to implement an IIS uninstall override mechanism triggered
by, for instance a command line argument, to bypass the IIS part of the
uninstall while still continuing the rest of the uninstall. Even though
reconfiguring existing IIS settings may be a debatably invalid action, IIS
Manager is still available. A bypass approach would at least allow for the
software to be uninstalled.
Is there a way to do this?
