The installed MSI is called to handle the uninstall sequence, any changes you make to your uninstall sequence will only affect the new installers you create. As far as your logging question goes, you should be able to see those actions (if they are in fact included) and the other stuff that is happening when the cached msi is removed by using l*v. Ok, thanks (also to Stefan Krueger). A typical example of PEBKAC: The condition of the custom action was wrong. I see the deinstallation now as expected. Andre' - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] logging of RemoveExistingProducts
I have a product that needs to run custom actions
when uninstalling. This works.
However, when trying to install a major upgrade
on an already installed version the older version
is properly found (i.e. I get something like
MSI (s) (3C:DC) [09:51:36:582]: PROPERTY CHANGE:
Adding NEWERVERSIONDETECTED property.
Its value is '{7F141428-1AC6-46F5-9915-763C2F1D5F11}'.
in the log) but it looks as if during its
deinstallation the custom actions do not run.
Ordinary deinstallation works just fine.
Is there a way to see the stuff that happens
when 'RemoveExistingProducts' somehow in the log
file (I am using /l*v already)

Re: [WiX-users] logging of RemoveExistingProducts
Are you sure you're looking at the right property? I mean,
NEWERVERSIONDETECTED is a strange property name for the detection of an
*older* version.
That said, the uninstall of the old version should be in the log, masrked
with (N) for nested as opposed to (c) for client side and (s) for server
side actions.
