WiX has nothing to do with uninstalling anything. The Windows Installer however uninstalls anything specified in the REMOVE property http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371194.aspx As far as I know Component Conditions only affect Install not Uninstall http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368007.aspx
FYI WiX & the Windows Installer are not the same thing & the terms are definitely not to be used interchangeably.

How does Wix decide what to uninstall from the machine.
