1. Is the empty folder inside the GAC or in your product's directory tree? If the later, you could try adding a RemoveFolder element to your component. The former would be a fusion bug. 2. If you need to show UI from ARP, you would need to add <Property Id="ARPNOREMOVE" Value="1"/> to your MSI, which would combine the "Change" and "Uninstall" buttons. The "Uninstall" button never allows the user to make any workflow decision except cancel (by design). > From: jacob.hoo...@greenheck.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:55:08 +0000 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix uninstall does not remove folders in GAC and > uninstall through control panel follows non-UI uninstallation > > I know 2 is by design.
