I have a few shared compoents that I will add the same guids back to as the previous version, I'm sure that will kill off a few error messages in the log file. When I uninstall the previous version after uninstalling the current version, the current version reg keys are still left behind :(

The logs tell part of the story but you really need a full set:

  1. Install v1.
  2. Install v2.
  3. Check the v2 log around CostFinalize/InstallValidate to see which
     components weren't installed because v1 installed them.
  4. Uninstall v1 or v2.
  5. Check the uninstall log to see which component were left behind:
      Disallowing uninstallation of component: {componentGuid} since
      another client exists
  6. Uninstall the other.
  7. Check the log to see if any components got a "null" action state.
     Those are the ones that are really orphaned.
