Have you tried running the uninstall with logging enabled (msiexec /x
setup.msi /L*vx Setup.log) to see what is going on?

I think there's another bug here where the path to the site isn't being set
even if I hard code the host header. You have to go in afterwards to IIS7
(Vista SP1) and set the path to the site.
File another bug?

At a high level I have 2 questions:
1. How do you get XmlConfig to run *after* the config file is installed?
2. To change an existing element without a unique id, do I have to delete it
and recreate it?
So, I'm dealing with an XML config file that should look like this:

Let me first apologize for what I'm sure is a n00b question:
I want a dialog to query for a configuration value that I will then put into
the .net xml config file, but if the property is already populated (say by
someone passing a command line argument to msiexec) I'd like to skip the
dialog.
A common task which I need to perform which I'm certain has been done before
is creating new user and granting that user the permission to log on as a
service. Specifically I'm installing a new IIS app pool and I'd like to
create a specific user for this app so I can lock down my database to allow
It seems that when creating the wix project a file called product.wxs is
included in the package and then the name is changed to the name of the
project. So calling the project database ultimately has a database.wxs file
that is added to source control.

random passwords (cryptgenrandom or system.security.RandomNumberGenerator).
