I know 2 is by design. If a user selects uninstall from ARP, then they shouldn't go into maintenance mode with an option to repair/etc. I don't use the GAC so I can't comment on 1.

Our dlls are installed in GAC. When we upgrade to .Net 4.5, uninstall remove the dlls in the GAC, but still left the empty folders there, is it a bug? Is there any way to remove the folder also? In .Net 4.0, there is no such problem ( both dlls and folders are removed). Here is our code: <Component Id="CMP_ARCHITECTUREEXTDLL" Guid="{124D13B7-B963-4C8A-A279-0CE11AAA785C}" > <File Id="FILE_ARCHITECTUREEXTDLL" Name="ArchitectureExt.dll" DiskId="1" Assembly=".net" Source=".\Bin\ArchitectureExt.dll" DefaultVersion="CMP_ARCHITECTUREEXTDLL_VERSION" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> 2. When uninstall by double click the installation file ( *.msi), it shows welcome dialog, option dialog (change, repair, remove options), verified dialog, progress dialog and finish dialog. We like this flow. However, if we uninstall from control panel, it goes as non-UI installation. Is there any way to change the uninstall behavior if uninstall through control panel? Thank you so much!
