Dmitry, Does description below applies to your situation (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx)?
"Note that if a component is already installed, and is not reinstalled, removed, or moved during the current installation, the action state of the component is null and the string [$componentkey] evaluates to Null." If you experience blank path during complete uninstall make sure that component is not marked as Permanent. Also, make sure your component is not installed to run from source because your CA might be doing something with the source files, not locally installed ones.

Subject: [WiX-users] Getting folder localtion of component during unisntall Hi, I have some CA that executed during uninstall (just before RemoveFiles action). My custom action need to know folder where component was installed. The problem that session.Format("[$component]") return me empty string. (on installation phase it contain full path to folder where component installed). Question : what can I do that my CA on uninstall stage will receive the full path of folder where component installed?
