Thank you for telling me how to get to the verbose log file, I found out what I was doing wrong without it though. Turns out I was not calling the modified WixUI, instead I was just starting right with the custom forms. Thank you for the responses though :-)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstallation You have a few options for generating a verbose log file. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370536.aspx Probably the easiest way to generate a verbose log file at *install-time* is to do it on the command line: msiexec /i "path\to\package.msi" /l*v "path\to\install.log" To generate a verbose log file at *uninstall-time" it would probably be easiest to do it on the command line as well: msiexec /x "path\to\package.msi" /l*v "path\to\uninstall.log" Sounds like you want to focus on which actions are selected to execute during uninstall. Since you have customized the UI dialogs, you might want to start there. Edwin G.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstallation It is from my understanding that when someone creates their own custom dialogs that they are extending (so to speak) the WixUI_InstallDir. That being said the .msi that is used to install my application should also be able to uninstall that same application. However whenever I click on it to uninstall it just runs the installer again. There is no error message, and the program continues through the installation fully (i.e. it overwrites everything). I guess my question here is, is there something I missed? Am I supposed to make a call to an uninstall method like the following? <InstallExecuteSequence> <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> Also embarrassingly enough I am not sure how to access the verbose installer logs... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
