If you mark the Component permanent, the User will not be removed during
uninstall.
I think what we can do in this case, is present a message to the user on
uninstall and ask them if they want to retry/cancel/ignore the failure. The
user will be left behind but uninstall will still work.

Hi all:
We've encountered a problem where ConfigureUsers causes an uninstall to fail if
a domain user is used on install and they are not logged in to the domain on
uninstall. I found this bug on the issue already:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1894167&group_id=105970.
We are already persisting the username/domain in the registry for use on
uninstall and upgrade so that solution doesn't help me.
Why can't we just schedule ConfigureUsers to NOT REMOVE so it doesn't ever run
on uninstall? Is there anything it needs to do on uninstall that requires it?
I am setting a user on a WebAppPool, a service, message queues and some
directory and registry permissions, too and when testing this theory, the
uninstall was fine.
Dana
