Thanks for the reply. The problem is that we are building a general purpose product and have no control on what the user is going to do. We test various scenarios before launching a product and this was one of our test areas. Now, I suppose we have fixed the issue. We have made that component 'Permanent' so that it is not executed during uninstall. We then created another component which has a 'RemoveFolder' element and that one runs upon uninstall. We have a custom action which removes any sharing before the folder is deleted. I know this is a very twisted approach, but, we were finding no other way to deal with this problem. Thanks. // Sudripta. -----Original Message----- From: "Carter Young" Sent: Thursday, 27 February, 2014 9:49pm To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Product removal fails as ConfiguresmbUninstall fails
