Joe, How is the Uninstall of the old product version scheduled in the upgrade. My guess is that your update is uninstalling and then installing the web pool and when it reinstalls it, it no longer has the identity to use.

Subject: [WiX-users] Application pool identity is stuffed up on productupgrade - IIS7.0 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> ======================================================================= This email, including any attachments, is only for the intended addressee.
