two questions: 1) are the components transitive? 2) are you sure that the
component with the guid {51275946-63F1-4A82-BC9B-FA3DA39B73B3} wasn't
previously installed?
Check that component by name in the log and report the line(s) in the log with
that component's name.
That component is associated with the COM registration information, so that
must the component that isn't file-only. Does the guid of the file-only
component show up in the log? What does the log say about that component (when
you search for it by name)?

> We have 2 components that are conditioned to be installed. On simply installs

> entries that are shared by other apps. By default the component that only
> installs the file turned on and therefore the other component is turned off.
> None of these components are marked as shared.
>
> During install the correct component is installed and therefore no file
> association is created, but we noticed that during uninstall the turned off
> component seems to be triggered and therefore removed the file association
> registry keys, causing the other apps not to have file associations.

> Checking the log we do notice the component entry in the log:
> MSI (s) (A0:C4) [09:18:00:096]: Executing op:
> ComponentUnregister(ComponentId={51275946-63F1-4A82-BC9B-FA3DA39B73B3},,BinaryType=0,PreviouslyPinned=1)
>
> We noticed the PreviousPinned=1 and know that if this is there that the
> component should not be uninstalled. We noticed that all components that are
> turned off have this entry in the log.
>
> But then we noticed the following in the log:
> MSI (s) (A0:C4) [09:18:00:416]: Executing op:
> RegExtensionInfoUnregister(Feature=SMART_Ink,Component={51275946-63F1-4A82-BC9B-FA3DA39B73B3},,Extension=pdf,ProgId=SMARTInkDocumentViewer.pdf,,,,)

> This is where the file association is being uninstalled.

> So why is the uninstall triggering components that were NOT installed to
> remove entries that we not even created during install?

> Any insight would be helpful.
