Have you looked at a full log of the uninstall process? Sounds to me like your database application still has handles open to your file when your installer tries to remove it. >I think this is because wix first checks the privileges for the .mdf file, which the database is holding and refuses to go on. WiX does nothing to your database or anything else on your machine during uninstall. The Windows Installer however does plenty.

The installation does the following things. - Create a folder - Copy an .mdf file into it - Run some attach scripts So far so good, the database is attached. But now the uninstall. This does the following. - Run a drop script. But when I try to uninstall I get the message: Product: Testing setups -- Error 1321. The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: J:\TestingSetups\MsSql\TestDb.mdf. I think this is because wix first checks the privileges for the .mdf file, which the database is holding and refuses to go on. Does anyone know a way to get around this?
