When is your custom action scheduled? When you uninstall through the MSI your MSI is in maintenance mode. This probably means that REMOVE is not set to ALL by default in case you choose some other behaviour. Check a log to see when REMOVE is being set and what to.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Removing through the UI mode does not prompt forprivileges I'm new to WiX so don't know how to do it, but I think you need the elevation shield attribute 0x00800000 set in the Control table on the button used to uninstall the application. Try editing the msi package using InstEd to see if it fixes the problem, then you can figure out how to achieve it in WiX.
