As always, please state which version of WiX you're using, and check whether
the problem reproduces on the latest weekly release from
http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/. (I think there's a different source
for Microsoft employees.)
If the problem still reproduces let us know.
(I apologise if you've already done this but I'm afraid reports of problems
with old versions, which have already been fixed, are very common.)
Possibilities I can think of: user doesn't have rights to log on as batch/as
a service (not sure which an application pool requires) but IIS Manager does
this for you if you set it manually; password not being passed from
scheduler to deferred custom action correctly.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX, IIS AppPool and Users
Hi,
I'm trying to create an MSI using WiX that will create an application pool
in the IIS and assign a user to it.
I'm using the following code:
<User Id='MyUserId' CreateUser='no' Domain='MACHINE1' Name='user1'
Password='1234'
RemoveOnUninstall='no' UpdateIfExists='yes'>
<GroupRef Id='IISWPGGroup'/>
</User>
<WebAppPool Id='MyAppPool' Name='MyAppPool' Identity='other'
User='MyUserId'/>
The problem is that for some reason the password in the AppPool isn't set
correctly and when trying to access one of the applications, the AppPool
goes down. If I update the password manually the application pool works
correctly.
Is this a WiX problem? How can I solve it?
Thanks,
Dror.
