[wix-users] ManagedPipeline property of Application Pool in IIS getting reset during Major Upgrade

I believe it could be caused by:

scaexecIIS7.cpp @ Line 3573:
    //For WiX II6 /ABO compat we will default managedPipelineMode="Classic"
    hr = Iis7PutPropertyString(pAppPoolElement, IIS_CONFIG_PIPELINEMODE, L"Classic");

But I don’t know the intent behind the action, so I am not entirely positive.  If the CA doesn’t have a pipeline mode authored, one would think the scheduling/immediate CA would have read the current state and placed it’s vale on the CA.  But I know IIS did some wonky stuff like requiring admin to read it’s configuration.

Either way, I don’t have a pool of IIS boxes to work against, so I am not much help from here.

In both the cases (Install & Upgrade MSIs), I am not setting this property and the same applies to ManagedRuntimeVersion also. But ManagedRuntimeVersion setting is retained whereas ManagedPipelineMode is not.

But what does the @ManagedPipelineMode in your updated installer look like?

It's been a long time since I've worked with App Pools in WiX but is your upgrade deleting the old App Pool and creating a new one? Try checking the verbose log for signs of the App Pool getting deleted.
