Thanks Rob, Funny thing is that the we were modifying 2 xml/config files that are part of our product and they are Installed and Uninstalled as part of that product and it would still fail.
None the less, issue happen and I would be happy to share the Log files with you to see if it is something you want to look into. I still took your advise on using the XmlConfig instead and all is working perfectly. So I would too recommend XmlConfig or XmlFile since it does have more flexibility is what you can do during install/uninstall.

Cc: Ryan Perlman Subject: RE: Issue with XMLFile in util XmlFile has issues with uninstall. It really only works at modifying files that you install/uninstall as part of your product. XmlConfig was created to handle all those scenarios correctly. XmlConfig is also a bit more complicated to use. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pierson Lee Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 13:53 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Ryan Perlman Subject: [WiX-users] Issue with XMLFile in util We are adding customizable XMLs to our web deployments. One of these deployments involve nested V-Dirs under the base IIS site. If we modify the web.config in the main V-Dir it will uninstall fine, but if we modify the config in the nexted V-Dir, then it fails to uninstall. After reviewing the uninstall logs, I notice that without the nested V-Dir config being modified, the custom action for XMLFile to uninstall is not called and the uninstall happens fine. But when I add the config file modification for the nested V-Dir, then it fails to uninstall, citing that the custom action fails. Both Config files are modified with each installation. We're testing on a Windows 2008 server running IIS and the drop version we're using is WiX 3.0.4102.
