And yes it sucks. Well good to know that it's still a current issue and not something wrong on my end. Thanks! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Uninstalling WinSxS in Vista
I've run into an issue with Vista where the side by side assemblies installed to WinSxS do not get removed when the uninstaller is run. I found the https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=260142";>Microsoft Connect Issue 260142 which seems to indicate that it is normal behavior for the WinSxS files in Vista to stick around and be deleted at some later unspecified time. I think the uninstaller is working properly because AssemblyUnpublish is being called, but I have no way to be sure since the files never seem to be removed. The computer i'm testing it on now had the uninstaller run four or five days ago and has been rebooted several times since then and the files are still there. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so have you figured out any way how to deal with it? Is there somewhere that can be checked that will indicate that the files are indeed marked for deletion and possible when that deletion is scheduled for? Or a way to force the cleanup to happen? (Either as part of the uninstall process or at some later date.) Thanks for the help! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
