Application Initialization IIS 7.5 1 Failed to Install

Question

I use the web platform installer to install "Application Initialization 1", but I get the message "Fatal installation error."

In the log file, I see:

MSI (s) (9C:24) [14:04:47:315]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=ExecuteInstallWindowsHotfix,,) 1: IISCA IISExecuteCA : End CA Setup MSI (s) (9C:24) [14:04:47:315]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=ExecuteInstallWindowsHotfix, \Users\GEORGE~1.VOV\AppData\Local\Temp\\HotfixPipeLine{3E0FEF42-B34C-40FE-8387-2EE0F22CE1A6}.msu^) MSI (s) (9C:A4) [14:04:47:325]: Invoking remote custom action.

He seems to be trying to fix the fix.
I have this problem on 4 different machines with Windows 7 Enterprize x64

Any idea how to fix this?

Refresh

I got the actual msu file from the "Temp" folder and I can see the fix it is trying to install.
this is a file called Windows6.1-KB2684600-v2-x64.msu
Support Link = http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=2684600

When I try to install this hotfix manually, I get "The update does not apply to your computer"

Update 2
I also asked iis.net , but they could not help much.

Answer 1

I have the same problem with my new laptop at work. I contacted Microsoft Support, and after trying some other things, they finally found out what caused the installation of Application Initialization 1.0 to fail on a computer running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64.

We found that the 2684600 hotfix that must be installed for the application initialization module must update iiscore.dll to version 7.5.7601.21943. However, our existing iiscore.dll machines are already in version 6.5.7601.23403, it makes sense that the fix causes an "not applicable for your computer" error during installation.

Digging further, we found that version 23403 is updated when installing KB 3125574 through Windows Update.

We have completed the following steps to resolve the issue:

• remove KB 3125574
• install application initialization module
• then install KB on top of it

An example of my WebPI log:

Answer 2

According to Susanne, the installer is trying to start KB2684600. KB2684600 fixes some DLLs, for example iiscore.dll. And if these DLLs are already on a higher version, installing KB will cause the installation to fail. When checking all the files fixed by KB2684600, I found that they were all updated to 3125574, so if you have 3125574 installed, you do not need KB2684600.

When I looked at the installer in the Orca tool, I noticed that there is a command line switch that can be used to prevent the installation of KB2684600. Run the installation as follows:

 appwarmup_XXX.msi SKIPINSTALLWINDOWSHOTFIX=1
