Hi, I am still pretty new to the whole Windows Installer and WiX thing so you will have to bare with me :-). I have created a couple of installers for web applications, one creates a virtual directory in the default website and the other makes a new website on a different port, and both seem to be leaving behind a COM Component/Application. Unfortunately I have not got the XML in front of me at the moment since it is at work, but it looks pretty much along the lines of this blog entry I originally used to setup the installers http://strangelights.com/blog/archive/2004/10/08/179.aspx (I have added some VDirProperties entries but that is pretty much it). When I install the msi it creates a COM Application called something like 'IIS-{AppName//Default Web Site//VDirName}' with a component in it named IWAM something (which I would guess stands for IIS Web Application Manager). Unfortunately this COM Component and Application are not removed on uninstall, a new one is created on reinstall and I can't delete the application through component services, so as you can image my test machines getting messy. I have also noticed that the installer for CruiseControl.NET, which also can create a web application, has exactly the same problem. I have tested this with WiX 3.0.4603.0 on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Servers 2003 SP1/2.
So what am I doing wrong and/or what other information do you need?
