Thanks for the suggestion. I found that return value 3 happens during 'SxsUninstallCA' when it tries to remove the VC++ runtime libs. There are thousands of lines between action start and action ended for 'SxsUninstallCA', and I don't see anything obvious there. If I use Orca to remove SxsUninstallCA from the MSI file, then the fatal error during UN-install goes away. Of course that leaves the VC++ runtime libs installed. I'd like to figure out how to fix this, but I don't have any ideas. Any other suggestions?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall Error: Failed to find files with pattern: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\wix The error is before that point in the log. Look for a line where some action is said to return a "3". -----Original Message----- From: Spencer Berry [mailto:sbe...@eidpassport.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 2:37 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall Error: Failed to find files with pattern: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\wix I'm new to WIX, and I've inherited a project that uses WIX for building the installer. During UN-install, the installer ends with a message that it has ended prematurely due to an error. Looking into the Installer Debug/Log file I see the following messages: Action 10:35:31: RollbackCleanup.

Does anyone know what this means? Maybe I need to include more info. In one of the wxs files, the ID number show in the above error message appears: <Product Name="MyProduct" Id="{5A3CBF39-6DE3-4B2B-A1EA-642669BBD3DC}" Language="1033" Codepage="1252" Version="$(var.ProductVersion)" Manufacturer="MyCompany" UpgradeCode="{E4017676-BD94-4357-89FE-A42920E01D10}"> Do I need to include any other info here?
