While Chads advice is the best place to start, if you don't find anything
useful I then maybe you could
check your service process during uninstall. We have had this problem with

You can't do that -- it violates component rules, the one that says that

You could have the uninstall generate a verbose log and see what it says
about this Component. Might give a hint. With some minor exceptions,
overall your code looks much like what I use for dozens of services and
they always uninstall correctly.

I am trying to test patch creation with WiX. I ran through the patch
creation "Using Purely WiX" in wix.chm, and it worked fine. In that
scenario, a single text file, Sample.txt is installed with the 1.0

the old 1.0 version.
I'll leave the answer to that up to others more knowledgeable about those

Is there a way to specify in WIX that a group should be

Hi, Rob.
Can you show your wxs-file in which you describe your custom actions?
Btw, in your installation log-file there isn't a custom action which must

Hi, Bob.
Adding "Not Installed" in the condition would make the difference, because
"Installed" is the Installation Status Property, take a look at
