I ran the logo test on a clean system, so this is the only app that's been installed/uninstalled after the OS and the tester. Is there any way that windows could think it was still being referenced by another application?
Actually, I just thought of something else strange-in the notes for the logo tester, it says to run the tester, then run another app in a second user session. It tells you to close all the application windows in the other user session before uninstalling, but not to log the other user out, which I remember thinking was strange at the time, especially since the uninstall warns you that other users are still logged in. I wonder whether the same thing would happen if I logged the second user session out first? I'll have to try that on Monday... ________________________________________ From: Wilson, Phil [phil.wil...@wonderware.com] Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 5:45 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

I've been running a couple of tests with the Windows 7 logo kit, and one warning that's coming up in the report looks like this: Test case: Remove all non-shared files and folders.: PASS WITH WARNINGS WARNING: This application failed to remove the following files during uninstall: File C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_none_11ecb0ab9b2caf3c\ATL80.dll from program iceManager Monitor was not deleted. File C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_none_0c178a139ee2a7ed\mfc80.dll from program iceManager Monitor was not deleted. (there were more files, but you get the idea) In my installer, I install the MFC and ATL merge modules with this markup: <Merge Id="CRT8" Language="1033" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.CommonProgramFiles)\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm"/> <Merge Id="MFC8" Language="1033" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.CommonProgramFiles)\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm"/> <Merge Id="ATL8" Language="1033" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.CommonProgramFiles)\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm"/> . . . <MergeRef Id="CRT8"/> <MergeRef Id="MFC8"/> <MergeRef Id="ATL8"/> Everything works just fine, but is there a reason why the merge modules aren't uninstalled with the application? I dug around a little, and it doesn't look like there's anything that tries to flag them as permanent, and I haven't come across anything useful in the logs yet, but I thought I'd check to see if this was a known issue (in general or with these MSMs in particular), or if there was a known workaround.
