Have you tried running your install from the command line with logging?
msiexec /i your-msi.msi /l*v log-file-name.log (install)
msiexec /x your-msi.msi /l*v log-file-name.log (uninstall)
You can use /l*vx for a LOT of debug info in the log file.
This might give you some insight as to what is going on.

Subject: [WiX-users] Seriously borked install
Due to some kind of issue with a major upgrade breaking (To wix from an
existing IS install), my Wix install is broken. I'm getting the dreaded:
MSI (s) (BC:C8) [16:09:18:281]: Disallowing uninstallation of component:
{93426E57-F227-48BA-94D7-BCBC7A2E86D3} since another client exists
MSI (s) (BC:C8) [16:09:18:281]: Disallowing uninstallation of component:
{81862D8F-2FC6-41FE-8331-D2740CF13666} since another client exists
MSI (s) (BC:C8) [16:09:18:281]: Disallowing uninstallation of component:
{67AE89C8-A712-4D36-8145-578714FB1D95} since another client exists
MSI (s) (BC:C8) [16:09:18:281]: Disallowing uninstallation of component:
{598B1EF3-A060-4241-BA24-37107668CEE5} since another client exists
But there seems to be no way of finding the other clients, so I can
diagnose the problem. There used to be a program around called MsiSpy,
but that seems to be unavailable now.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this kind of thing? The componenet
guids referenced above appear nowhere in the registry once the uninstall
is done.
How does WI keep track of this stuff?
Thanx -- m
