Have you checked for open file handles and registry access via the msiexec logging? Probably not that but I'd check there first myself.

Subject: [WiX-users] ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT and permissions to uninstall Hello all, I've installed a package (as a regular user) on Vista. The install sets the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property and has its permissions elevated at install time (via a manifest in separate UI, setup.exe, and the stanard UAC dialog). The separate UI also installs two other packages that do NOT set ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT. Now, when I come to UNinstall the 1st package (which is done via "UninstallString" and the UI) I get the standard UAC elevation dialog, which succeeds, and then I get a message box containing "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall ...". I don't understand this, I've elevated the process in exactly the same way that I did to install the package, so I figure I should be able to uninstall the same package. The 2 packages that do NOT have ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT set, and do not use the custom UI uninstall fine. So, how can I, as a regular user, get "sufficient access" to uninstall the package that I, as a regular user, installed?
