BTW, if the registry which storing the install path be deleted by user or some
other applications, can the uninstall get the correct install path ?

Why don't you include the EXE and the DLL as well in the Binary table ? If your
file is only needed for maintenance (install, repair, uninstall), then do not
deploy it.
If I remember correctly, all files in the Binary table are extracted to the
same folder during (un)installation.

Sorry, when I say "fixed", it sounds like you need to get the CustomActions to
understand that they may not always be installed. I say "very brittle" because
when CustomActions have this sort of behavior, they usually have problems with
repair scenarios which are also important for patching...
I would never recommend calling a batch file as part of an install. Rolling
back a batch file sounds like a lot of work... especially since batch files
don't have any kind of "transactionality" in them.
Can you investigate the CustomActions of the Merge Module more and see if there
is some way

Not for certain on this, but I think it would work.
