Hmmm... it appears that the one that didn't work, didn't explicitly have: <Package InstallScope="perUser"
And when I add that, it seems to work properly. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Puza [mailto:dp...@ultra-scan.com] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2011 9:19 AM To: WiX-users Subject: [WiX-users] Burn doesn't detect (and therefore doesn't uninstall) certain per-user MSIs I am having trouble with Burn with certain of my per-user MSIs. The log shows they are Absent, when they are really Present. Since for some reason it thinks they are Absent, they don't get uninstalled, causing all kinds of problems. I am installing and uninstalling as the same user. Another per-user MSI gets detected and uninstalled properly. What could be the difference between the two?? See in the log below how EXAMPLE.msi and its features are detected as Absent when they are really installed. For Msi.msi they are detected as Local and Present.
