Hi everyone,

 

I tried to create a shared merge module that creates a user and an
application pool in IIS. The idea is that we have a number of installation
packages that all share the same application pool and user. The first
installed application creates the application pool and the last one deletes
it.

 

I was hoping that the merge module would allow us to track the reference
count of the components because they have the same guid in each package. But
what happens is that the first application that is uninstalled also deletes
the application pool. So except for a custom solution the only way seems to
mark the component as permanent so that it is never uninstalled.

 

Is there any way to enable windows installer to take care of when a
component needs to be uninstalled?

 

Thanks, Thorsten
