Are there any plans to add something like a "ConfigureIfExists" property to the WebAppPool element? It seems that that would be a simple feature which would make my headache, and potentially many others', go away.
I have an existing install which has one component defining the WebVirtualDir, WebSite, WebAppPool, and User all together. So all 4 pieces are installed and removed at the same time. I am now trying to write an upgrade that will maintain the current pool if it exists, or create one if it doesn't exist. I was thinking that I could pull the WebAppPool into its own component, and condition it with the result of a custom action that checks if the AppPool exists or not. I can get that to work, but in the case where the upgrade does not install the component (AppPool already exists), then the uninstall of the upgraded product does not remove the WebAppPool. I am guessing this is because the upgraded install did not install the component for the AppPool, and in the ugpraded install, the component that originally installed the AppPool was updated to not have the AppPool (it was pulled into its own component). Is that correct?
So, I think the only option I'm left with is the one that David suggested - run a custom action to check for the Application pool and save off the settings before the Application pool is reinstalled. Then after its reinstalled, run another custom action to set the properties on the AppPool back to what they were before it was reinstalled.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Tina:
In our case, we are not required to support upgrades. We uninstall and
reinstall the web sites, which have minimal changes from the settings that
we publish via our installs.
That said, if I had a requirement to support upgrades and wanted to make
sure that my installs did not overlay / invalidate some of the "localized"
changes that were made after my install, I would probably look to create a
Custom Action that queried the relevant IIS settings, saved them to property
values, and reinstalled the updated web site with the saved property
settings.
Hope this helps.
