Okay, not enough information here to really help. Do you have a CustomAction changing the directory in question? Is the Component actually scheduled to be removed? (look for "Local: Installed Action: Absent").

I didn't see anything in the logs that reached out and grabbed me, but there were a couple of differences between files that did remove and files that didn't. Both are shown in the snippet below. 1. The files that removed had a "verifying accessibility..." operation. The others didn't. 2. The files that didn't remove had an op that sets the target folder, but sets it to the wrong folder! This is probably the problem, but I don't see how I can control that. I don't see anything in the code that would cause that. Executing op: SetTargetFolder(Folder=C:\Users\Brad\AppData\Roaming\Carnivore Games\Casting Call\) Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=CastingCall.exe,,ComponentId={8F6D773E-F307-468E-91B2-9 2B740377BE7}) Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=TemplateDesigner.exe,,ComponentId={0B4750F4-D432-443D-9 9F1-76B00CA8CA19}) Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=ReleaseNotes.txt,,ComponentId={3614ABE0-79A6-43AF-9E49- 6EE92ABA0101}) Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=Common.dll,,ComponentId={143E839E-A095-408B-8BC5-ED7183 A74334}) Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=Default.xml,,ComponentId={B6747E67-39C3-49C6-9BA8-A9C3A 9AF6228}) Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=log4net.dll,,ComponentId={2985BD17-8572-4910-8F54-B080C 5012395}) Executing op: SetTargetFolder(Folder=C:\Program Files\Carnivore Games\Casting Call\QuickHelp\) Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=CastingCallHelp.htm,,ComponentId={5AADAC9F-6805-440F-A2 C6-18BB9C305BB7}) Verifying accessibility of file: CastingCallHelp.htm Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=ControlCheckType.htm,,ComponentId={5AADAC9F-6805-440F-A 2C6-18BB9C305BB7}) Verifying accessibility of file: ControlCheckType.htm Executing op: FileRemove(,FileName=ControlCheckUncheck.htm,,ComponentId={5AADAC9F-6805-440 F-A2C6-18BB9C305BB7}) ---------- Bradford Younie President, Carnivore Games http://www.carnivoregames.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Strange World - Non-Fiction Horror Storytelling Game Now Playing - Roleplaying in Every TV Genre ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
