[wix-users] App Pool not being removed

[Carlos Sosa]

When you add a component, everything is uninstalled unless you specify that it should not.

You need to add 

Permanent="yes" 
NeverOverwrite="yes"

To the component tag.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [wix-users] App Pool not being removed

Hello,

I have an installer that installs a web application and for some reason during the uninstall everything is removed: files, registry keys, virtual directories, except the application pool created.

I see this in the install log:

MSI (s) (28:CC) [13:33:59:487]: Component: CMP_webAppPoolBuiltIn; Installed: Absent;   Request: Local;   Action: Local
MSI (s) (28:CC) [13:33:59:487]: Component: CMP_webVirtualDirBuiltIn; Installed: Absent;   Request: Local;   Action: Local

and this in the uninstall log:

MSI (s) (54:AC) [14:09:24:198]: Component: CMP_webAppPoolBuiltIn; Installed: Local;   Request: Absent;   Action: Absent
MSI (s) (54:AC) [14:09:24:198]: Component: CMP_webVirtualDirBuiltIn; Installed: Local;   Request: Absent;   Action: Absent

There are no errors during install or uninstall and this is all that shows up about ConfigureIIs7Exec:

MSI (s) (54!74) [14:09:26:356]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ConfigureIIs7Exec property. Its value is '**********'.

Notice how you can't see the value.  I would be nice to see the value to determine if there is something wrong there.

Any idea where I could look or how else I could debug this?

Thanks!
