...and repeating myself, if the concern is the error message in a previous post:
MSI (s) (88:78) [14:29:08:578]: Disallowing uninstallation of component:
{A5A114B9-ECE4-4EFE-8DE7-DA07E024554A} since another client exists
..then look up that id in the Component table of your MSI file and see
what it is - it clearly says that another client exists, so that's the
obvious reason it's not getting removed.
