Moving the custom actions for setting the C Drive to be After CostFinalized
resolved the problem. WiX threw an error when I tried before CostInitialize.
Thanks!

I just tested by copying the installed files to where the log say C_DRIVE
would be prior to the redefine (in my case, e:\cdrive) and then ran the
uninstall.
The installed files were deleted from e:\... rather than c:\... proving
this theory.
Looks like I need to change when the custom action trig

It was my understanding that putting full path into Name wouldn't work.
Everything I found online said what I did is the way to do it.
I had a similar thought about an hour ago while driving about c_drive not
getting redefined properly for the uninstall and will try to validate if
that's the probl
Your CA_SetCDrive is not being run during uninstallation. You'll
notice the uninstall log refers to C:\CDrive\ all over the place.
I don't understand why you need that custom action at all. Can't you
hardcode C:\ into the Name attribute?

A couple or three possibilities:
1. It might be shared (the component guid has another product client). A
dumb little program calling MsiEnumClients (or the script equivalent) may
verify this one way or the other if the log isn't clear.
2. The component guid may have been marked permanent during
Yes, I saw that. The logs seemed to me to say they were removed, but the
files are in fact still there.
Any ideas?
I took the Chapter 1 example out of the WiX 3.6 Developer's Guide book,
built it and ran it on the same system and it installed and uninstalled
properly, so the system isn't fundamen
Log file suggests the files were removed:
MSI (s) (60:6C) [16:04:58:163]: Executing op:
ActionStart(Name=RemoveFiles,Description=Removing files,Template=File: [1],
Directory: [9])

ProgressTotal(Total=10,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=175000)

I met with this issue either, my solution is adding a custom action dll to
delete all files while uninstall, but this is way too naive.

I have been using WiX to create an installer for my project. It's fairly
simple, just drop some files in three different directories and run a
