Well I posted about this a while ago, but I've still not found a solution so
I figured I'd try again.

What happens is that when I attempt to uninstall the application the three
DLLs that are installed with it are left on the system.
The installation fragments for these DLLs were created with tallow -s, and
the local references in there have been changed. All three are in the
sytem32 folder. (and yes I KNOW I shouldn't put them there but that's
outwith my control)

What I DO get in the verbose log is:
MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: readerComp; Installed: Local;  
Request: Absent;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: writerComp; Installed: Local;  
Request: Absent;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: serverComp; Installed: Local;  
Request: Absent;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __LanMonExeComp65; Installed:
Null;   Request: Absent;   Action: Absent
MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __readerComp65; Installed: Null;  
Request: Absent;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __serverComp65; Installed: Null;  
Request: Absent;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __writerComp65; Installed: Null;  
Request: Absent;   Action: Null

So it seems that they're not being uninstalled for some reason. What the
hell are reader\writer\serverComp65 ?

I don't get anything which says stuff like "Disallowing uninstallation of
component...since another client exists"

Even using regsvr32 (yes I shouldn't use this either - I know) to reg/unreg
the DLLs still leaves them behind on uninstall.

What can I do?
