  Re: Malformed XML, Bad Uninstalls, Cant Reinstall! Reply Contact 1. I was working on IIS (trying to figure out a weird caching related issue) and left work that night and the machine went into standby, IIS was open. When I came back and tried to get the machine out of standby, it crashed and I had to reboot the machine. Once rebooted, tried to do anything with IIS and it was complaining about a Malformed XML file (not well formed etc..). So then we tried to uninstall IIS - which wouldn't work at all. So we moved the file out of the folder it was in and tried to get it to recreate or do something, then next time we tried to uninstall IIS, IIS was removed. After which we have not been able to reinstall and are getting the errors as displayed in the log files. This is a client's laptop (built from the toshiba vista build cd), although we didn't build it, I don't think its an upgrade.  2.Here you go:  C:\Windows\System32>dir C:\windows\system32\inetsrv /s  Volume in drive C is S3A6022D001  Volume Serial Number is 3673-3B8D  Directory of C:\windows\system32\inetsrv 20/09/2007  11:02 AM    <DIR>          . 20/09/2007  11:02 AM    <DIR>          .. 07/02/2007  02:32 PM    <DIR>          History                0 File(s)              0 bytes  Directory of C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\History 07/02/2007  02:32 PM    <DIR>          . 07/02/2007  02:32 PM    <DIR>          .. 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000001_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000002_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000003_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000004_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000005_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000006_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000007_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000008_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM           266,230 MBSchema_0000000009_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM             2,078 MetaBase_0000000001_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000002_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:24 AM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000003_0000000000.xml 05/02/2007  10:26 AM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000004_0000000000.xml 07/02/2007  10:52 AM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000005_0000000000.xml 07/02/2007  10:56 AM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000006_0000000000.xml 07/02/2007  12:50 PM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000007_0000000000.xml 07/02/2007  02:05 PM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000008_0000000000.xml 07/02/2007  02:32 PM            10,151 MetaBase_0000000009_0000000000.xml               18 File(s)      2,479,356 bytes      Total Files Listed:               18 File(s)      2,479,356 bytes                5 Dir(s)  52,460,646,400 bytes free   3. I have already tried uninstalling WAPS and then installing IIS, which doesnt work, you have seen the logs of attempted IIS installs while WAPS was uninstalled. WAPS also fails to install when I try to reinstall it, I get the message "An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed." And even  though I tick all of the children under WAPS to reinstall, they are all unticked again and not installed, this is basically the same thing that happens with IIS

I won't be able to organise TS to the box but if you need any other information just let me know, thanks for all the help so far.   You can grab the files here:  http://users.on.net/~purpledevil/files.zip
