Did you remember to increment the version of the bundle? Is it the bundle that 
is left behind in ARP?

Subject: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper ARP cleanup vs MSI ARP cleanup

I have MSIs for which the Product/@Name value includes the version number 
(which changes for every build of the project).  This results in an entry in 
Add/Remove Programs (ARP) that includes the product name and the version 
number.  The MSI correctly removes the old ARP entry when a major upgrade is 
detected and the previous version is uninstalled.  When I chain the MSI into a 
custom BA the bootstrapper/MSI combination uninstalls the previous version but 
does not remove the old ARP entry.  ARP shows the old version and the new 
version.  Both the bootstrapper and the MSI maintain the same value for 
Product/@UpgradeCode from one version to the next.  Any ideas as to why the old 
ARP entry is not removed by the bootstrapper?
