By the way my CA is scheduled AFTER InstallInitialize -----Original Message----- From: Stelios Kyprou [mailto:stelios.kyp...@fcg.im] Sent: 21 December 2011 15:42 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

You are right David, REMOVE was set to the features that were installed. So I changed the condition so that the CA runs. One problem down. Now after completion, I can still see the product in "Products and Features", and the files are not removed from the install location. What do I need to do so that my Remove action via ui does the same thing as when running the uninstallation process via "Products and Features"? Thanks in advance, Stelios -----Original Message----- From: David Watson [mailto:dwat...@sdl.com] Sent: 21 December 2011 14:52 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Removing through the UI mode does not prompt forprivileges 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. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Gough [mailto:goug...@gmail.com] Sent: 21 December 2011 13:20 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. 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.
