You need to persist the VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL (store it in the registry) so the uninstaller knows it has changed otherwise it will use the default values.

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall removing the default Virtual directory and not the one user created Hi All, I am creating virtual directory through WIX installer. The installer allows user to change the name of the virtual directory through a custom UI dialogue. The default virtual directory is PFWServiceApplication. If the user changes this to say PFWServiceApplication_Test then the correct virtual directory is created and installation works fine. But the uninstall removes the default virtual directory. For instance i had created the default virtual directory PFWServiceApplication manually for testing and then used the installer to create the PFWServiceApplication_Test virtual directory. On uninstalling the PFWServiceApplication gets fully removed and the for PFWServiceApplication_Test only the node is left under the default website. What i want is that on uninstall only that virtual directory that i installed through the installer should be removed. Below is my code. <Fragment> <?include ConfigurationInitialize.wxi ?> <!-- Install to default web site --> <iis:WebSite Id="DefaultWebSite" Description='Default Web Site'> <iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80" /> </iis:WebSite> <DirectoryRef Id="MYWEBWEBSITE"> <!-- Configuring app pool --> <Component Id="MyWebAppPoolCmp" Guid="{9413B3CA-4CF1-4E3C-8F13-4E48291A8E22}" KeyPath="yes" Permanent="no"> <iis:WebAppPool Id="MyWebAppPool" Name="[WEB_APP_NAME]" ManagedRuntimeVersion="v4.0" ManagedPipelineMode="Integrated" /> </Component> <!-- Configure virtual dir --> <Component Id="MyWebVirtualDirCmp" Guid="{751DEB01-ECC1-48ff-869A-65BCEE9E0528}" KeyPath="yes" Permanent="no"> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="MyWebVirtualDir" Alias="[VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL]" Directory="MYWEBWEBSITE" WebSite="DefaultWebSite"> <iis:WebDirProperties Id="MyWebVirtDirProperties" AnonymousAccess="yes" BasicAuthentication="yes" WindowsAuthentication="yes" /> <iis:WebApplication Id="MyWebWebApplication" Name="[VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL]" WebAppPool="MyWebAppPool" /> </iis:WebVirtualDir> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <ComponentGroup Id="MyWebIssConfiguration"> <ComponentRef Id="MyWebVirtualDirCmp" /> <ComponentRef Id="MyWebAppPoolCmp" /> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> The include file ConfigurationInitialize.wxi has below code: <Property Id="VIRTUAL_DIR_VAL" Value="PFWServiceApplication" Secure="yes"/> <!-- +++++++++++++++++++ web app name properties initialize ++++++++++++++++++++ --> <Property Id="WEB_APP_NAME" Value="PFWServiceApplication" Secure="yes"/> Please provide some help on this.
