Uninstalling Web Service Extensions and Application Pools
InstallShield 2016 » Internet Information Services
Project • This information applies to the following project types:
Note • Web service extensions, application pools, and associated properties are available only on machines with IIS 6.0 or later installed.
On systems with IIS 7, Web service extensions require that the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility feature be installed. For more information, see Version-Specific Information for IIS Support in InstallShield.
Any Web service extensions and application pools installed in the IIS Manager that have identical names as the Web service extensions and application pools in an installation will always be uninstalled when the features with which they are associated are uninstalled unless their components are marked as permanent. Even if the Web service extension or application pool was originally created by something other than the installation, it will be removed from the target system upon uninstallation if the names (of the Web service extensions and application pools) match those in the installation. One exception is that the default application pool, named DefaultAppPool, will never be removed by the uninstallation.
To configure a Web service extension to be uninstalled during uninstallation:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Server Configuration, click Internet Information Services. |
|
2.
|
In the Web Service Extensions explorer, select the Web service extension. |
|
3.
|
For the Mark Component as Permanent setting, select No. |
To configure an application pool to be uninstalled during uninstallation:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Server Configuration, click Internet Information Services. |
|
2.
|
In the Application Pool explorer, select the application pool. |
|
3.
|
For the Mark Component as Permanent setting, select No. |
If Yes is selected for the Mark Component as Permanent setting, the Web service extension or application pool is left on the target system after uninstallation.
Tip • Changing the value of the Mark Component as Permanent setting affects the value of the Permanent setting (in Basic MSI, DIM, InstallScript MSI, and Merge Module projects) or the Uninstall setting (in InstallScript projects) for the component that contains the Web service extension or the application pool. Therefore, if you select Yes for the Mark Component as Permanent and the component contains other data, such as files, shortcuts, and registry entries, the IIS data, as well as the other data in the component, are not uninstalled during uninstallation.
