My apologies. I meant that createElement operations are undo during *uninstall*
(unless Permanent="Yes").
I think the code determines whether to install or uninstall by:
WcaIsUninstalling(pxfcUninstall->isInstalled, pxfcUninstall->isAction);
And isInstalled and isAction get set by:
::MsiGetComponentStateW(WcaGetInstallHandle(),
pwzData,
&(*ppxfcTail)->isInstalled,
&(*ppxfcTail)->isAction);
pwzData is set to the component ID:
WcaGetRecordString(hRec, xfqComponent, &pwzData);
So, it appears that the XmlFile actions are determined by the installed and
action states of the component.
MSI (s) (AC:38) [10:53:29:551]: Component: ConfigureApplication; Installed:
Local; Request: Absent; Action: Absent
MSI (s) (AC:38) [10:53:29:551]: Component: ConfigureDatabase; Installed: Local;
Request: Absent; Action: Absent
To me that suggests that we are going to uninstall.
