In your verbose log, what does Windows Installer think is the "Action" state
for this component on uninstall? You're looking for a line that says something
like this:
MSI (s) (4C:88) [14:30:42:128]: Component: Site; Installed: Local;
Request: Absent; Action: Absent
It should say "Action: Absent" in the uninstall case - if not, there is
something going on with your component GUID and/or authoring, unrelated to the
custom action.
Also, when searching through the verbose log, did you try searching for
"WriteMetabaseChanges:"? This should display any warnings / errors specific to
the IIS's deferred custom action.
Finally, what version of WiX are you using? Quite a lot of things have been
fixed in the IIS custom action in just the past couple of months - you may want
to try again with the latest weekly build to see if the problem still occurs.
Thanks,
Mike Carlson

Subject: [WiX-users] Unable to remove website during uninstall
I have this wxs file to install binarys and a website in IIS. The
installation works fine. But just during uninstall, only the binary folders
are removed. The IIS website remains there (though the status becomes
unknown). I tried the verbose log, but didn't see any error/warning there.
Can someone give me some help/hints? More generally, besides logging, is
there any debugger for wix? Thank you very much.
