The log is showing this:
MSI (s) (98:20) [16:09:09:028]: Disallowing uninstallation of component:
{5703B886-7D29-45D1-9EFF-35198D58EC20} since another client exists
And then this:
MSI (s) (98:2C) [16:18:48:399]: Executing op:
ComponentUnregister(ComponentId={5703B886-7D29-45D1-9EFF-35198D58EC20},,BinaryType=0,PreviouslyPinned=1)
Un-registering it shouldn't remove it should it?
I'm not seeing anywhere else where its being called to remove (except
RemoveRegistryValues, and even if I suppress that (which I don't want to have
to do)) it still removes it.

Subject: [WiX-users] Permanent Component being removed on uninstall
Trying to create a registry key which is edited by an application, and keep the
entire key after the program is uninstalled (incase it is re-installed, want
the stored data to remain)
Here is the sample code. However, every time I install, it creates the proper
key, but when I uninstall via ARP, it removes the entire key.
<Component Id="foo" Guid="xxx" Permanent="yes">
<Registry Action="createKey" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\foo\blah"/>
</Component>
I've checked the package with ORCA, and it shows the component table with the
attribute of 16, which should translate properly to "permanent".
Even if I manually go in an add a string/Dword, it still all gets removed on
uninstall.
Am I missing something? (using wix 2)
