Sounds like something is awry with your MSI. I would expect that to work. 
Verbose log file should show you what's going on.

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall MSI from ARP doesn't remove installed files

Hi,

I have created a custom bootstrapper application and Bundle using wix 3.8.
The chain contains two MSI packages. 

<Chain>
<MsiPackage DisplayName="SampleMSI1"  Id="MSI1" SourceFile="E:\Sample1.msi"
Compressed="no" EnableFeatureSelection ="yes" InstallCondition ="cbASPNET"
Visible="yes" ForcePerMachine="yes"/>
<MsiPackage DisplayName="SampleMSI2"  Id="MSI2" SourceFile="E:\Sample2.msi"
Compressed="no" EnableFeatureSelection ="yes" InstallCondition ="cbASPNET"
Visible="yes" ForcePerMachine="yes"/>
</Chain>

I have given Visible="yes" in msipackage element. So it shows the bundle entry 
and two MSI files entry in ARP. 
If I uninstall the bundle entry from ARP, it will uninstall  two MSI packages 
and also the shipped files in installed location are get removed.

But if I do uninstall the MSI from ARP, it only removes the MSI from ARP.
Shipped files are present in installed location.

My requirement is need to remove the files from installed location while 
uninstalling MSI from ARP which is installed by bootstrapper.

Could anyone please share any solution for this? What did I do wrong?

Thanks,
Saravanan
