While Chads advice is the best place to start, if you don't find anything
useful I then maybe you could
check your service process during uninstall. We have had this problem with
some services which were failing to shutdown during the uninstall process which
resulted in files being orphaned.

You could have the uninstall generate a verbose log and see what it says
about this Component. Might give a hint. With some minor exceptions,
overall your code looks much like what I use for dozens of services and
they always uninstall correctly.

Subject: [WiX-users] service not being uninstalled
I've been going through the forums to see if I can find if this has been
covered already but I can't seem to find one. The problem I'm having
with
my install is when I uninstall the program it leaves the service behind
and
the exe related to it in the install folder. I'm using the following
WiX
code for the service.
<Component Id="Service" Guid="<guid>">
<File Id="ServiceEXE" Name="Service.exe" Source="\\files\Service.exe"
DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
<ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstall" DisplayName="Test Service"
Name="Test Service" ErrorControl="normal" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess"
Vital="yes" />
<ServiceControl Id="ServiceControl" Name="Test Service"
Start="install"
Stop="uninstall" Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes" />
</Component>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
