MSI (c) (4C:38) [13:48:25:762]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying TARGETDIR property. 
Its current value is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery 
Toolset'. Its new value: '\\wmiscratch\scratch\davut\DaRT'.

This line seems to me to be the primary reason. TARGETDIR is the location where 
the software has been installed. It seems to me that it can't erase it out of 
the network share if the network share doesn't exist.

The MSDN docs say that KB886549 can also produce 1606 errors 
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/en-us). But, instead I think it is 
something wrong in your directory table and/or passed in command-line values.

Hi Rob - Thank you for your reply. Do you mean I require network share to exist 
during uninstall (in the WIX code)? Isn't that a requirement by MSI which I 
don't have control over? Here is the log. I couldn't understand anything useful 
other than error code.
