A guess: most likely the UI is setting a property that's used as a
condition on the component, let's assume it's the component that
installs the service and starts it. If the value of the property is not
preserved but is used again as a condition on uninstall the service
won't uninstall because the property won't be there. The answer would be
to persist the property value (in the registry, say) and reacquire it
(AppSearch) for the uninstall.

Subject: [WiX-users] Optional Service Start - Help Needed
When installing a windows service with WIX, I need for the service to be
optionally started or not, depending on input from the user (a check box
or the like). I have tried doing this using two separate components and
adding a condition, and this appears to work, however does not uninstall
properly. Could someone advise me on the best way to go about
implementing this solution?
Thanks
Emma.
