The uninstall log yields the following, which I believe to show the problem: MSI (s) (3C:D8) [17:52:54:296]: Doing action: InstallValidate MSI (s) (3C:D8) [17:52:54:296]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: ActionText Action ended 17:52:54: CostFinalize.

So as far as I can tell it knows that serverComp, readerComp and writerComp are installed but performs no action? I'm pretty lost as to why this should be. While I was mucking about I've tried setting SharedDllRefCount="no" for the components but that didn't help either.
