Hi,
I've got a package that is a plug-in for another product. When I install
the plug-in, I want it to modify the app.config file for the primary
product to register itself; similarly I want it to deregister itself on
uninstall. I've got this all working except for the uninstall part.
In my wxs I've got:
<Component Id="ConfigUpdate" KeyPath="yes"
Guid="{243B948C-153A-477d-BF8F-687915DE0188}">
<util:XmlConfig Id="AddPackageNode"
File="[INSTALLDIR]Renderer.exe.config"
Action="create"
ElementPath="//configuration/gdnet.rendering/presentationPackages"
Name="add"
Node="element"
Sequence="1"
On="install"/>
<util:XmlConfig Id="AddPackagePath"
File="[INSTALLDIR]Renderer.exe.config"
ElementPath="AddPackageNode"
Name="path" Value="Packages\StandardLayouts.dll"
Sequence="2"/>
<util:XmlConfig Id="RemovePackageNode"
File="[INSTALLDIR]Renderer.exe.config"
Action="delete"
Node="element"
VerifyPath="add[...@path='Packages\StandardLayouts.dll'[\]]"
ElementPath="//configuration/gdnet.rendering/presentationPackages"
On="uninstall"
Sequence="1"/>
</Component>
This successfully adds an <add path="Packages\StandardLayouts.dll"/>
element under configuration/gdnet.rendering/presentationPackages in my
main app's config file.
However, uninstalling it doesn't remove the element. I checked out the
MSI with Orca:
RemovePackageNode [INSTALLDIR]Renderer.exe.config
//configuration/gdnet.rendering/presentationPackages
add[...@path='Packages\StandardLayouts.dll'[\]] 545 ConfigUpdate 1
which looks fine; I also tried running msiexec with verbose logging
turned on, and I see:

(It looks like my mail client has screwed up the spacing in the
CustomActionData strings a bit; looking at the log file in visual
studio, the fields are separated with whitespace).
After looking through the WixCA sources, it looks like everything should
be functioning normally. There are no warning or debug messages of any
sort saying that XmlConfig can't do its thang. Yet the element doesn't
get removed. The timestamp on the config file changes, but the element
is still in there. WI thinks that the install succeeded.
Anyone know what's going on?
