All,
I have a component in my installer to add a service account to a local
group. My installer prompts the user to enter the credentials of the the
account and I don't persist that data anywhere. Because I wasn't persisting
the information this caused the uninstall to fail so I added a condition for
NOT Installed which fixed the problem. However, I still have the problem if
the user re-installs or attempts to repair the installation. I tried adding
an additional condition but this doesn't seem to be helping.
Here is the snippet from my installer. BTW - UPGRADE is a property I set if
I find a previous version of my product.
<Component Id="SvcAcct_IISWPGroup" Guid="..." Permanent="yes"
NeverOverwrite="yes">
<Condition>NOT Installed AND NOT UPGRADE AND NOT REINSTALL ~=
"ALL"</Condition>
<CreateFolder/>
<u:User Id="ServiceAccount_IISWPGroup" CreateUser="no" Name="[SVC_ACCT]"
Password="[SVC_PWD]" Domain="[SVC_DOMAIN]" UpdateIfExists="no">
<u:GroupRef Id="IISWPGroup"/>
</u:User>
</Component>
Here is the error from the install log.
