Prompt about duplicate IIS AppPool

Hi,

During installation the user is prompted with this message about the existing application pool, althoug I set the "Action if duplicate" to "Skip item installation"

The weird thing is that this used to work without any issues. Suddenly and without any changes to the aip project the issue starts to occure.

I attached the aip project file.

Re: Prompt about duplicate IIS AppPool

Hello and welcome to our forums,

First of all, please accept my apologies for the quite delayed reply on this.

And thank you for the provided resources!

From what I can see in the error message, it says about "on Web Site "Default web site"" while in your second screenshot, you show for the "Application Pool".

If we go in your project under "Default Web Site" like in the first screenshot, we can see the following:
