In your patch, you need to remove the "RemoveOnUninstall="yes" on the User you create, or when you uninstall the patch, it uninstalls the user.

The credentials of the User are obtained through a custom dialog. I then went on to create an MSP for this installation that replaces some files. Everything works fine but when uninstalling the patch, it seems that the WebAppPool is reconfigured and although everything else remains the same the password of the User assigned as identity is lost. The App pool is created as: <iis:WebAppPool Id="WEB.APPPOOL.THERETAILSUITE" Identity="other" Name="SomeUser" User="WEB.USER" /> And the user is created as: <util:User Id="WEB.USER" Name="[WEBUSER.NAME]" Password="[WEBUSER.PASSWORD]" PasswordNeverExpires="yes" RemoveOnUninstall="yes" FailIfExists="no" UpdateIfExists="no" Disabled="no" Domain="[WEBUSER.DOMAIN]"> </util:User> Is there any way to stop this reconfiguration from happening?
