Hi,
It's a very old laptop. I ran windows update on it and it listed 100 updates.
Note at this time my burn package (i.e. my program) was still installed. I
installed the 100 updates and rebooted the computer. I tried uninstalling my
program and it failed and this was in the log:
[0F24:0B64][2012-03-27T16:05:33]: Detect complete, result: 0x0
[0F24:0B64][2012-03-27T16:05:35]: Plan 3 packages, action: Uninstall
[0F24:0B64][2012-03-27T16:05:35]: Error 0x80070002: Failed dependents check on
package provider: {A20ABBF9-534E-41A2-A7FE-7611EB47E7A1}
[0F24:0B64][2012-03-27T16:05:35]: Error 0x80070002: Failed to plan dependency
actions to unregister package: ShellSetup.msi
[0F24:0B64][2012-03-27T16:05:35]: Error 0x80070002: Failed to plan execute
package.
I then did a repair which was successful and after that I was able to
successfully uninstall my program. I installed my program again and I no
longer have the "updates could not be paused" error. But any idea why I get
the error that prevents my from uninstalling?
My burn package installs (in listed order):
(1) .net framework 4.0 (not cached)
(2) Visual 2010 C++ Redistributable Package (not cached)
(3) Shell Setup.msi (which is my program, this is cached)
When I ran Windows Update among the 100 updates were updates for the .net
framework 4.0 so this may be the reason for uninstall failure.
I went to another computer I had and checked for updates. There was an update
for Visual 2010 C++ Redistributable so I installed that (before this I had
already installed my program on this computer). After I did and went to
uninstall my program it gave me the same error as the other computer. Exact
same message in log as above. I had to do a repair and then was able to
uninstall my program successfully. So it seems any changes to .net or
redistributable will prevent uninstall.
Is this a known bug with burn? Or is there something I need to do differently?
It also appears that when I do a repair the .net 4.0 framework is downloaded (I
guess since it is not cached). How does this affect the updates/patches that
get installed from windows update when burn repairs the .net framework?
Wouldn't the repair overwrite the new updates?

Yes, that is exactly what it is trying to do. Something is unhappy with AU on
that machine.
