I found some "Disallowing uninstallation of component: {<guid>} since another
client exists" messages in the uninstall log, which look to be referencing the
exe files, but can't find any references to the those guids in my MSI or in the
Registry. They are not from a merge module, and I have never used the Permanent
or Shared attributes. I have been running on my dev machine (not in a VM).
Sounds like there is no recovery for this situation?
Thanks,
Scott

If the issue is that "disallowing uninstallation" message, then look up the
component guid in your MSI to see what it is, a file name or registry item.
Without that detail it's impossible to say if it's working correctly. It may be
shared because it's from a merge module used by other products (Microsoft
support Dlls etc); it may be that you have used the same physical test system
(instead of a clean VM) for all your testing and it's now an unreliable test
machine; you may have marked that guid as permanent at one time in an install;
you may have marked it shared at one time.
