Hello Rob, I'm sorry for recovering this old thread, but it turned out to be a (major) bug in the IIS extension. I have registered an artifact to the bug database (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2683227&group _id=105970&atid=642714), but to tell the long story short, IIS extension doesn't save the metabase before backing it up. Hence, when rollback picks up the backup, it doesn't necessarily contain the most recent changes.
You can find details in the registered issue. Thank you. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 7:29 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] IIS Rollback action deletes all websites Look in the verbose log file to see the install states for the Components. Make sure they aren't removing things incorrectly. Also, make sure that the Web Sites are completely independent of each other. After that more detail from the log file and what your source looks like would be necessary. -----Original Message----- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 00:46 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] IIS Rollback action deletes all websites Anybody? Any hint? I failed to find anything suspicious in the verbose log. As far as I can see from the source code, the rollback action should restore the IIS metabase from the latest restore point and then drop it. I can see such restore points get created on install, but they remain after rollback is finished. Do you have any idea of what to look at to find out the reason of such behavior? Thank you. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 1:17 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] IIS Rollback action deletes all websites Hello WiX developers, I have a serious problem which seems like a bug in IIS extension to me. I have an installation which can install multiple instances, let's say, 2 for simplicity. Each one installs a web site in IIS 6. So, Instance1 installs WebSite1, Instance2 installs WebSite2. The components containing these sites are fully "multiple-instance-aware", that is have different GUIDs, write to the independent registry keys, don't contain shared resources, etc. This can be proven by the fact that Instance1 uninstalls WebSite1 correctly, and Instance2 uninstalls WebSite2. BUT, if Instance1 is installed, and Instance2 fails during the installation and rolls back, that rollback operation REMOVES BOTH SITES, WebSite1 and WebSite2. It seems that it just picks up an incorrect IIS restore point for that rollback. Could anyone please confirm it is a bug or point me to what is wrong otherwise? I would really appreciate your response. Please, help. Thanks. P.S. It is reproduced for both 3.0.4805.0 and the latest 3.0.4930.0. -- Yan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
