Are you installing the same COM+ application twice? If so, did you use the same Component/@Guid on both eployments? If not, then your reference counting is broken and that is by design in the Windows Installer

This happens irrespective of whether your MSI created it. So in my case I already have a package created by another application, I reference but don't create it in my WiX MSI but when I uninstall the MSI the package is deleted. I haven't tried it but I suspect that a reinstall may remove the package and then fail to install because it has gone. I think this behaviour is a bug but I have yet to report it. I hope this helps.

Ive created a small test installer which creates a COM+ app and installs an assembly and it works fine during reinstall. So, I think there is a different problem somewhere in my (huge) installation program. Perhaps you were right about the properties, ill have to do more checking.
