We are using WIX 3.10 to create web applications under default website, this implementation works fine but the issue is with uninstall of the product that it does not remove the web application under the default website.
The web application name is set by using the set property custom action which is scheduled before AppSearch.
The properties are set following the toolset remember property http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/5/2/the-wix-toolsets-remember-property-pattern/ which sets the web application property during uninstall, but still the application is not removed on uninstall.
The uninstall log states that the properties are set after AppSearch.
Action start 12:48:48: SetApplicationName.
MSI (s) (AC:F0) [12:48:48:475]: Doing action: AppSearch
Action ended 12:48:48: SetApplicationName. Return value 1.
Action start 12:48:48: AppSearch.
