[wix-users] App Pool not being removed

I'm sorry, my first sentence is a little confusing.  The problem is the application pool IS NOT removed even though the log says it is schedule to be removed.
Everything else is removed properly just not the app pool.  I have no idea why it isn't and there is nothing in the log that would lead me to believe it shouldn't be.

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.

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!
