I'm using ServiceInstall. We have WIX 3.5, and on Windows 7. There are no CAs that are running, or scheduled to run. Upon further looking at it, it's not the service that stays. We have a Tray.exe that we are installing as well, and THAT is what is staying around. It just kind of holds. This is an exe that is installed before the service is. The rest of the install rolls back, but this one exe sticks around, and doesn't even fully install. It just hangs.

I have used the ServiceInstall and related elements, and rollbacks work fine for me with WIX 3.5, Win 2003, Win 2008, Win XP. There could be other complications, such as if you have custom actions scheduled too late (a problem for deferred CAs).
