Here's what the MSI doc says about components:

Note that the SharedDLLs reference count in the registry is incremented 
for any files installed to the System folder (System32 on Windows 
NT/Windows 2000).

That's where PreviouslyPinned comes from. If you ever had a bad 
uninstall and manually "cleaned up," it's likely that there's some extra 
MSI registration lying around.

That's why testing in VMs is so great.<g>
