Hi On my dev box (win7 64bit), I'm finding that when I uninstall my web application, everything gets properly removed EXCEPT the AppPool.
I found a related thread: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Problem-with-Application-pools-in-IIS-on-Windows-7-2008-td5438654.html But no answer was contained there, so I'm hoping for some pointers?! Here's the structure: <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id="IISMain" Name='inetpub'> <Directory Id="WWWMain" Name='wwwroot' ComponentGuidGenerationSeed='CA19CA4A-C69B-4CDB-BCBD-6C3C5E9A3EDC'> <Directory Id='INSTALLLOCATION' Name='!(loc.ProductName)'> <!-- The component to define the Virtual Directory.--> <Component Id="WebVirtualDirComponent" Guid="A720C1C9-1D8D-4941-976D-FB1C5C9EF8BB"> <!-- Define App Pool - identity if not set defaults to: ApplicationPoolIdentity --> <iis:WebAppPool Id="AppPool" Name="[VD][WEBSITE_ID]" ManagedRuntimeVersion="v4.0" IdleTimeout="0" RecycleMinutes="0" ManagedPipelineMode="integrated"> </iis:WebAppPool> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="VDir" Alias="[VD]" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION" WebSite="SelectedWebSite"> <iis:WebApplication Id="YearViewApplication" WebAppPool="AppPool" Name="[VD][WEBSITE_ID]" /> <iis:WebDirProperties Id="MyWebSite_Properties" AnonymousAccess="yes" WindowsAuthentication="no" DefaultDocuments="Default.aspx" /> </iis:WebVirtualDir> As stated before, the VD gets removed fine...so this proves (?!) that [VD][WEBSITE_ID] are valid... I'm persisting the variables to the registry (and can see them there!) and reading from at startup. The Feature is defined at: <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="!(loc.ProductName)" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id='WebVirtualDirComponent' /> <ComponentGroupRef Id="Product.Generated" /> <ComponentRef Id="PersistWebSiteValues" /> </Feature> I'm clearly missing something really simple/obvious?!
