I'd suggest looking at what's causing the problem rather than assuming a blanket upgrade to Windows Installer 4.5 as being a solution since Windows Installer 4.5 isn't even pushed to Windows XP machines by Windows Update, it's a manual upgrade. Considering I have people complaining about things like XP SP3, MSXML 6.0 SP2 & .NET 2.0 Framework being pre-requisites of our application (and thus my installers) all of which are pushed out by Windows Update I'd find it hard to push something to users which even Microsoft don't.
Writing some Properties to the Registry during install then retrieving them using RegistrySearches during Uninstall is pretty low in terms of complexity so if it's failing on Windows Installer 3.1 there's going to be a reason for it. Are you Properties being populated before they're attempted to be written? From your logs on an earlier post I'd have to guess that they're not.

Registry values are not writing on the msi version 3.1 machine, so, I upgrade to 4.5 (msi version) and now its working.
