Don't use self registration, use the registry keys in the MSI Registry table. Then it works, and you don't need to worry about a custom action.

The dll will self-register. The exe is run by a custom action with a command-line parameter to perform registration and update the registry. The exe can take a command-line parameter to unregister itself and remove references in the registry. How do I ensure that uninstallation can still succeed - including unregister via the EXE and unregistering of the DLL - if the user has deleted the files? I would like to make an uninstall package as part of the MSI that has a backup version of the files an merely run uninstall via this package and remove the files on disk. What are some good approaches for dealing with this issue?
