It should also be noted that if I run an Administrative console and uninstall the msi from there, the feature gets correctly removed. Even though this msi is installed not as an administrator, though I am logged in as an administrative user.

The only difference is on the XP machine it says Feature: XYZ_feature; Installed: Local; Request: Absent; Action: Absent while on the Windows 7 machine it says Feature: XYZ_feature; Installed: Advertise; Request: Absent; Action: Absent The MSI I am using is the same on both machines. Could it be the problem that the feature is advertised? And if so, why would this be different across operating systems? ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Mensching <r...@robmensching.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Component is not getting removed at uninstall Look at a verbose log file. It will show you the action states of the Components.
