Your CustomAction is not deferred and will fail if the installation is not
elevated. Have you tried running it deferred? Maybe that is the problem we're

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestions, I think I will be going with the custom

Now, I'd like to fill the combo box through reading from an INI file or

In that case, something is definitely wrong. Uninstall should work
from any install location without your intervention.
You had said that we were both doing the same thing, but your
directory table is not the same as mine. You have:

Things *might* also get confused if a CustomAction is modifying the Directory.
PS: Directory/@Name="." is the same as not having the Directory/@Name.

The downside to this approach is that a command window shows up during
uninstall. On the other hand the script gets executed properly.
I was hoping to use something like the following:
I used Before="ProcessComponents" and that seems to be early enough. Thanks!
