I am using Wix to create an application pool with an identity of a
custom account. When I do a major upgrade the application pool identity
is stuffed up although it should remain unchanged. The result is that
the application pool is stopped and I get Service Unavailable message
when I try to access the website that uses this application pool. The
only way to solve it is to manually set the identity of the application
pool after the upgrade is completed.
I have no idea why it happens - the identity of the application pool
shouldn't change. The only way to prevent the installer from setting the
application pool identity on product upgrade is to disable the
ConfigureIIs action on product upgrade, but the side effect is that the
web site isn't removed on uninstall.
This is the Wix code that creates the website and the application pool:
<Component Id="CreateWebSite" Guid="CBAF81F1-E6D2-430e-A5FC-08DCCC4FC8D7">
<CreateFolder />
<iis:WebSite Id='KeyManagement' AutoStart='yes'
Directory='Web.Ui'
Description='Key Management Facility' >
<iis:WebAddress Id='AllUnasigned' Port='80'/>
<iis:WebApplication
Id='WMISystemMonitorWebservices' Name='KMfWebAPPName'
WebAppPool='ClientApplicationPool' />
</iis:WebSite>
</Component>
<Component Id='ClientApplicationPoolComponent'
Guid='012C66B6-B308-4883-BE18-C99E0E90B476'
KeyPath='yes' UninstallWhenSuperseded='yes' >
<iis:WebAppPool Id='ClientApplicationPool'
Name='Tait Key Management Facility'
Identity='other' User='KmfWebUI' />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
