dotnet setup : uninstall web application failed

I have created an ASP.Net 2.0 web project. I installed the web
deployment tool for creating the setup project. Afterwards I created
the MSI. Then we use ORCA to change a few parameters in the MSI (like
the target path,…). All this comes together in a kit which is used for
the installation on our servers.

The installation of the Kit on a Windows 2003 server works fine. When I
tried to uninstall the application it fails. This is the error I got:

Action start 13:31:55: WEBCA_EvaluateURLs.
DEBUG: Error 2769: Custom Action WEBCA_EvaluateURLs did not close 1
MSIHANDLEs.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code
is 2769. The arguments are: WEBCA_EvaluateURLs, 1,
Action ended 13:31:56: WEBCA_EvaluateURLs. Return value 3.

I hope somebody can help me out with this problem.

Kind regards
Sven Cipido

Hello Sven

Does the uninstall works fine before you modify the MSI with Orca? Also are
you using Orca that is included with the SDK for Windows Server 2003 Release
2?

I'm pretty sure the code that evaluates web urls should not be running at
uninstall time, so I'm wondering if you changed its condition when you went
in there with Orca.

Txs for your help. Sorry I answered a little late.

We have solved the problem. Instead of using a web setup we just use a
standard setup project. The websetup was conflicting with the tivoli
kit. Now our setup just copies the files in the correct directories
and the kit does the rest like setting up the Virtual directory under
IIS.
