If you need properties at uninstall time you need to persist them somewhere and read them on uninstall, the registry is a common location for these.

Subject: [WiX-users] Install variable not kept around for uninstall? So my scenario is that I query the user at install time what the database server, instance, and name should be. I then use these variables in a <sql:SqlDatabase /> element to install a database. This works great, except that if I change any of the default values at uninstall it seems to go back to using the default values. I basically have a UI Dialog with a Edit control that is tied to a property for each of these values. I then dereference the property in the SqlDatabase element. How do I persist this value so that when I uninstall it tries to drop the correct database rather than the default one?
