I have the same problem as Jason.
Ive installed only features: Parent, Child1 (and left out Child2, Child3)
Ive launched my uninstall using msiexec /x [MyMsi.msi] /l*vx
uninstalllog.txt
Here's what my log shows:
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Feature: Child1; Installed: Local;
Request: Absent; Action: Absent
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Feature: Parent; Installed: Local;
Request: Absent; Action: Absent
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Feature: Child2; Installed: Absent;
Request: Null; Action: Null
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Feature: Child3; Installed: Absent;
Request: Null; Action: Null
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Component: Child1; Installed: Local;
Request: Absent; Action: Absent
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Component: Parent; Installed: Local;
Request: Absent; Action: Null
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Component: Child2; Installed: Absent;
Request: Null; Action: Null
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:209]: Component: Child3; Installed: Absent;
Request: Null; Action: Null
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:224]: Component: __Parent65; Installed: Null;
Request: Absent; Action: Null
MSI (s) (A0:A0) [11:49:13:224]: Component: __Child165; Installed: Null;
Request: Absent; Action: Absent
So my question is, why Action is "null" on Component "Parent" when Feature
"Parent" clearly has "Absent" as action...
Result is my Child1 subdirectory get deleted, along with his dlls, ocxs and
exes. but the parent directory which contains other dlls, ocx and exes stays
there and my "Parent" DLLs & OCXs stay registered (while those of the Child1
get unregistered)

Take a look at a verbose install log around the CostFinalize and
InstallValidate actions. They log what actions MSI is going to take with
your features and components.
