Dear Wix Experts: I upgrade ASP.NET from v2.0 to 4.0; and also upgrade Wix from 3.0 to 3.5 (i.e. install Wix 3.5 Visual Studio tool set). Then I create a custom installer (*.msi file). The installer installs the application without any problem. But when removing or repairing the application, it fails at uninstalling the COM Plus component. The exception in the log file is: ComPlusUninstallExecute: ExceptionInfo: Code='0', Source='System.EnterpriseServices', Description='Failed to load assembly 'e:\counselor\website\bin\groupware\groupwarehandler.dll'.', HelpFile='', HelpContext='0' ComPlusUninstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to invoke RegistrationHelper.UninstallAssembly() method ComPlusUninstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to unregister .NET assembly ComPlusUninstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to unregister assembly, key: ComPlus.GroupwareHandler ComPlusUninstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to unregister assemblies I have double checked that the referenced the groupwarehandler.dll is indeed in the referenced folder, and the GroupWare handler is deployed in Component Service Comp+ Application. I searched the internet, and found a link indicating that Wix 3.5 can't uninstall COM+ component. See link below. http://blog.i-m-code.com/2012/01/20/remove-com-plus-applications-programmatically/ Since this issue described in this page was original published in January 20,2012. Many years has passed since, and I am not sure if this issue has been resolved. Because of this issue, I can't not uninstall or repair the application. I can't even install a new version because it fails when trying to uninstall the old version. The uninstallation would rollback everything when it fails. BYW, Is this issue resolved in the latest Wix 3.9 version? If so, I wouldn't mind upgrading to Wix 3.9 My Comp Plug Wix segment code is shown below: <DirectoryRef Id="Website.Bin.Groupware" FileSource="$(var.SourceRoot)/Website/Bin"> <Component Id="ComPlus.GroupwareHandler" Guid="{996F31B1-A33E-4bED-946E-279EDE72376F}"> <File Id="Website.Bin.CslrLight.GroupwareHandler.dll" Name="GroupwareHandler.dll" KeyPath="yes" Assembly="no" /> <File Id="Website.Bin.CslrLight.GroupwareHandler.tlb" Name="GroupwareHandler.tlb" /> <com:ComPlusApplication Id="ComPlus.GroupwareHandler" Name="Groupware Handler" Identity="[SERVICEACCOUNTDOMAIN]\[SERVICEACCOUNTNAME]" Password="[SERVICEACCOUNTPASSWORD]" Authentication="none" ApplicationAccessChecksEnabled="no" RunForever="yes"> <com:ComPlusAssembly Id="ComPlus.GroupwareHandler" Type=".net" DllPath="[#Website.Bin.CslrLight.GroupwareHandler.dll]" TlbPath="[#Website.Bin.CslrLight.GroupwareHandler.tlb]"> <com:ComPlusComponent Id="ComPlus.GroupwareHandler.ApptHdlr" CLSID="8B7F2459-4070-4BF3-AB89-0EA2E56A0902" /> <com:ComPlusComponent Id="ComPlus.GroupwareHandler.MailConnMgr" CLSID="1B320AFA-F8AD-43F5-9E8E-F024EDEFF3FC" /> </com:ComPlusAssembly> </com:ComPlusApplication> </Component> </DirectoryRef> Please help Thanks very much in advance.
