Hello WiX community, According to the MSI documentation, "if 'NeverOverwrite' bit is set, the installer does not install or reinstall the component if a key path file or a key path registry entry for the component already exists". What about components, which refer to the parent directory as a key path?
For instance, I have a component containing only IIS site definition, and it doesn't specify any file or registry key as a key path. On reinstall, its key path, which is a parent directory, exists and hence it should behave as 'NeverOverwrite'. However, I still see my website being reinstalled, resetting the custom settings to initial defaults... Is this the way IIS extension works? Is it correct (I guess, no)? Or do I simply missing the point how 'NeverOverwrite' technique works? I would appreciate your hints.
