Subject: [WiX-users] Need help with uninstall

Hello all, I'm having trouble with uninstalling my product after I do a minor 
upgrade.

So I test with installing my program and then uninstalling the program and that 
works fine. Then the next test is install the program (v.1.0.0.x) then do a 
minor upgrade (upgrade to v.1.0.2.y). That works fine. Next I try to uninstall 
the program. Here's where I run into my problem. The program gets removed from 
ARP making it seem like it's uninstalled, however, all directories and files 
still exist after the uninstall.

I've compared the logs and the difference I see is when it lists the components 
and their states, in the "good" log it says "...Request: Absent;
Action: Absent" signifying a remove. However in the "bad" log it says "
Request: Null, Action: Null" signifying no action.

The Product.wxs contains.

...

<Product Id="$(var.ProductCode)"
             Name="$(var.ProductName)"
             Language="1033"
            
Version="!(bind.FileVersion.fil12413D1AEB784C72BBAD4277614C2F22)"
             Manufacturer="$(var.Manufacturer)"
             UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)">

...

<MajorUpgrade AllowDowngrades="no"
                      AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes"
                      Disallow="no"
                      DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] 
is already installed."
                      IgnoreRemoveFailure="no"
                      MigrateFeatures="yes"
                      Schedule="afterInstallInitialize"/>

...



I'm running this from a bundle using wix3.8 and will try to attach the logs.

Any help appreciated!
