Hi Craig. Thanks for the fast response! Actually I found your code/the nabble link below already before posting to this list, I just don't understand if that helps me. Probably I'm just too new or not able to express my problem in a good way:
I install on machines where a default site is present (and it contains some other web applications already). I am supposed to install a new web application for the default site(!). When my msi is removed I need to remove that application only. Not the web site (that's why I don't include it as component so far), since that's always the default site for me and must not be removed. I'm not sure if remembering something helps me: I never use a custom port, address or anything.
