Hi Rob, thanks for ur quick reply!
i have checked for the bullets u marked at prob:- 1. Duplicated GUID ... its not 2. in verbose log its not uninstalling the component. here are few advancements that i have reach on new conclusion.. now my application EXE is gettin removed. CAUSE:- earlier i was using adverised shortcut for it, then i just tried my luck with non advertised and it worked perfectly. still not able to resolve my problem with service EXEs Am able to remove the service EXEs when i set attribute(KeyPath ="yes") in component(service EXE file is a part of this component). but in this case as expected, service is not gettin installed, but EXE are gettin removed from the INSTALLLOCATION. if on other hand i set attribute(KeyPath ="yes")in File tag andKeyPath ="no" for the component , services are gettin installed but not getting removed nor the services are removing. Please let me a way out, or else i would be left alternate way of installing services through c# custom action. Please help me a way out ..which is recommended and according to the standards.
