Hi
The Condition in Component is evaluated ONLY during install time. If
it will be evaluated to TRUE the component will be installed.
In your scenario the Registry keys are not present during
Installation so the Component is installed (registered in system).
And during uninstallation (since the component was installed) the
RemoveFolder rows are processed.
You will probably need to write some CustomAction to solve your problem.

Stefan
