There is no "Uninstall Sequence". InstallExecuteSequence (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369500.aspx) & InstallUISequence (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369543.aspx) run during Install & Uninstall (and Modify/Repair/etc) unless actions within them are conditioned appropriately.
Move your stop service action before RemoveFiles to fix the below behaviour. If it's a custom action you may need to set it to execute synchronously so msiexec waits for it to finish before proceeding with other actions otherwise it may still be in the process of stopping the service when it gets to RemoveFiles.

My uninstall fails because it is attempting to delete a file that is in use. The file is a windows service, which I have set to uninstall, but it seems to be attempting to delete the service before the service has been stopped. Cant seem to find any info in the documentation. Any ideas? thanks _________________________________________________________________ We want to hear all your funny, exciting and crazy Hotmail stories.
