You may be self-registering Dlls like oleut32.dll, dao360.dll. Or installing them and having them registered via the Class table, or have those entries in the Registry table. Maybe they're coming in from merge modules. I'd look in the MSI file (with Orca) and do a search. Phil Wilson -O

Personally, I would note the bug in the bug database and tell people to not do that behavior until it is fixed. If the bug is really blocking you, adding a comment explaining why you need it fixed helps us realize that the bug is worse than maybe we thought it was. Killing Burn while it is runnin

As stated, Wix 3.5 does support IIS 7. Also, I see that you have the CA marked immediate. If it is running during the UI phase, it will fail because you must be elevated to talk to IIS 7 and the UI phase is not elevated unless you jump through hoops to start it that way. -
