Re: [WiX-users] Having a reference counter for components
I managed to solve the problem. Even none of the components install any files it is still important they install to the same folder. So the trick is to replace the directory tree with this one: Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Nevertheless, I appreciate any feedback more experienced users can give me on this solution.

Re: [WiX-users] Having a reference counter for components
Reference counting works on components, it really does work. I think you're saying that there's a custom action that runs when one product is uninstalled, even though others are using the pool. Is there a condition somewhere on the CA that uninstalls the app pool? Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: Thorsten Tarrach [mailto:thors...@atomia.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 7:02 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Having a reference counter for components Hi everyone, I tried to create a shared merge module that creates a user and an application pool in IIS. The idea is that we have a number of installation packages that all share the same application pool and user. The first installed application creates the application pool and the last one deletes it. I was hoping that the merge module would allow us to track the reference count of the components because they have the same guid in each package. But what happens is that the first application that is uninstalled also deletes the application pool. So except for a custom solution the only way seems to mark the component as permanent so that it is never uninstalled. Is there any way to enable windows installer to take care of when a component needs to be uninstalled? Thanks, Thorsten -- Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App Earn a Chance To Win $500!
