I had not noticed the Permanent attribute in the documentation: Permanent YesNoType Specifies whether or not the modification should be removed on uninstall. This has no effect on uninstall if the action was deleteValue.
I'm not specifying the Permanent attribute in my authoring. I'm assuming the default value is 'No'. I still don't fully understand what Permanent="Yes" means for setValue operations. Looking at the code in at http://wix.codeplex.com suggests that the createElement operations are undone during install (unless Permanent="Yes") but that's all that should be happening. In my case, I'm seeing the setValue operations getting scheduled during install. Edwin G.
