Sorry, I missed the implied statement that you wanted uninstall to uninstall as well. It won't. What you're asking for is a very complex feature request that we've seen across the whole board of Windows Installer behaviors. The Windows Installer doesn't make this easy (maybe not possible in general case).
You *can* get the behavior you desire through very careful use of KeyPaths and scheduling RemoveExistingProducts very late. That's just very challenging to maintain. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Steve-Ogilvie [mailto:steven.ogil...@titus.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 2:21 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] how to keep a web site during upgrade...

Hi, I am not sure if I can do this but... I have created a web site using the WIX IIS::WebAppPool/IIS::WebSite/IIS::WebServiceExtension/IIS::WebDir I would like to know if there is a way NOT to remove the website during an upgrade?
