Web app gets attached to wrong app pool
This is a Basic MSI project, where I create a web app and an app pool. On some systems that are Windows Server 2003 with IIS6 the web app gets attached to the app pool created. On other systems which are Windows Server 2003 with IIS6 as well, the web app gets attached to DefaultAppPool eventhough the other app pool gets created. I am running the same version of the setup on similar virtual machines and I get different results. Any information on what may be causing this behavior is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

  • This install project has a custom action that launches IISReset.exe towards the end of the sequence. I resolved the issue by making the launching of IISReset.exe optional and moving it down in sequence.
