[wix-users] Issue with IIS Application Pool Settings

[Hoover, Jacob]

Just a few questions...  When is remove existing products scheduled? What do the MSI logs show about the component during upgrade? Never done IIS, but wondering what the Keypath is for the component, or if the behavior would change if there was a reg key for it.

I suspect that this is a deficiency in the IIS Extension from the WiX Toolset.
You may have to modify the underlying code for the IIS Extension https://github.com/wixtoolset/Iis.wixext/blob/master/src/wixext/IIsCompiler.cs

I'm sure the WiXToolset project would appreciate any such enhancements that you would provide.

Your other options are to call some custom actions, or just call iismgr to do the changes that you want.
