I have donloaded and ran the MSI installer. However during installation the software decided to associate itself with a previously defined website. Our server hosts several different sites using IIS, I assumed we would be able to choose and assign the software to a site of our choice and not have it automatically associate itself with a random website on our server.

This meant that all of the files for InstantKB were installed to the wrong directory, and I decided to stop the automatic DB installation for fear of DB setup also being placed in the wrong place.

I have now removed the InstantKB installation using the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs feature. However when checking the Application Pool in IIS I can see an application called 'InstantKB.NET v1.3 End User Lisence' is still associated with the original(wrong) site, i cannot remove it, i have even tried re-starting the server.

I would like to know 2 things,
1) Why did it install to the wrong place automatically? How do i choose the correct pre-defined website during installation?
2) How do i completely remove/unassociate the Application in my IIS > Application Pool?

Hi Dave,
The MSI will automatically install to a default website, if you look in your My.InstantASP area, there should also be a zip download suitable for a custom installation to your own desired location/folder.

To remove from an MSI installation, simply uninstall the application, remove the IIS application record, and check the App Pool it was assigned for any references to the application and remove where neccesary. The MSI will automatically Install to the same location regardless. I reccomend in your case that you utilise the ZIP file, and extract to the desired location, configuring the application manually in IIS.

Hope this helps!


Kindest Regards,
