Thought of that, I created new GUID for those components and tried the install 
again.

Still an issue on Windows XP

WIX 3.6 and 3.7

Are unique Guids set for each installed file, particularly the ones that aren't 
being uninstalled? 

That might not explain why it works on one OS and not another though.

I remove all files then do a fresh clean install of the bundle and then a 
uninstall of the bundle and some of the files are left.

This only happens on Windows XP, Windows 8 cleans up everything


Thank you,

Many reasons, one of which is because they were created by the application as 
it was running on the client machine, and weren't a part of the original 
installation package.

We'd need more details to help much more.

Why would some files be left after the uninstall??
