You might try using mdutil.exe (I think it comes in the NT Resource Kit) to dump the metabase before and after install. Then you can diff the reports and see if anything odd is in there. Usually that narrows down the searching significantly.

Subject: [WiX-users] Bad IIS state when uninstalling server I have a website I'm trying to install, and everything looks good on the install, but when I uninstall, it leaves the server in a bad state that I can't seem to fix. Has anyone else seen this? I try to manually start the default website after uninstalling, and it just times out. The installed website works as configured, with no problems.
