I posted this at Stackoverflow as well, but I'm just at a loss for what to
even look at, so I'm hoping someone can point me in a good direction.

I have been using WiX to create an installer for my project. It's fairly
simple, just drop some files in three different directories and run a
VBScript to generate one last file.

 I'm a total WiX and MSI noob. The "standard" thing to use at work is WISE
but I just can't figure out what to do with that at all, so I gave WiX a
try.

After some difficulties with the VBS I got the install working. When I
uninstall the package disappears out of Control Panel but the files that
were installed are still there. I know the one I generated on the fly is
going to be unless I do something special to remove it, but the others
should just go away, right?

I have install and uninstall logs, and also have posted the WiX source
file. Links are below.

Any help is much appreciated!

Note that this is being installed on Server 2003.

The package is using explicit paths and drive letters. I know that isn't
considered best practice, but that's where the files need to go. This
doesn't go to a variety of computer types and configurations; there are
over ten thousand of these systems in our retail locations and they're all
identical.
