Hi Blair,
Thanks for the great tip! My action is scheduled as:
<Custom Action="RemoveBoxShortcuts"
After="InstallFinalize">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom>
I can change it to After="RemoveFolders". I'm still surprised the new
files did not get installed but the product got registered. I would expect
either both or neither.
I think the reason the custom action was scheduled for after
InstallFinalize is that while removing the shortcuts is really nice on
uninstall, a failure there isn't bad enough for us to prevent the user
from uninstalling.

When was your custom action scheduled, are you manually setting any of the
ARP registry keys manually, and do you have rollback turned off?
Product registration happens in the deferred phase of the RegisterProduct
action, and should have rolled back if your custom action failure was
after that action and before InstallFinalize.
If your action is a commit action or is scheduled after InstallFinalize,
the product will remain installed.
