After fighting the default OS locations I finally convinced others around
here that going with what the OS wants for directory structure is much
simpler to do and more stable and takes fewer steps
I met with this issue either, my solution is adding a custom action dll to
delete all files while uninstall, but this is way too naive.

ProgressTotal(Total=10,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=175000)
MSI (s) (60:6C)

hardcode C:\ into the Name attribute?

I just tested by copying the installed files to where the log say C_DRIVE
would be prior to the redefine (in my case, e:\cdrive) and then ran the
uninstall.
The installed files were deleted from e:\... rather than c:\... proving
this theory.
Looks like I need to change when the custom action
Moving the custom actions for setting the C Drive to be After CostFinalized
