Turns out I got this from the WixUI_InstallDir.wxs file I based it on. The
property seems to be in the right place when I look at the file in Orcas.

I don't think that's what's going on, because I can still remove the program
from ARP afterwards, even though most of the install is gone.
Trawling through the UI sources, I found this in VerifyReadDlg.wxs:
<Control Id="Remove" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243"
Width="56" Height="17" Hidden="yes" Text="!(loc.VerifyReadyDlgRemove)">
<Condition Action="show">WixUI_InstallMode =
"Remove"</Condition>
<Publish Event="Remove"
Value="All"><![CDATA[OutOfDiskSpace <> 1]]></Publish>
[snip...]
</Control>
However, the msi documentation says the argument for remove is:
A string that is either the name of the feature or "ALL".
Does it matter that the case is wrong?

I wouldn't expect that.
