You still haven't said anything about PackageCode. There are only two ways to

I do an amazing amount of programming with Notepad2.exe. I'm not sure it

Uhh, it sounds like you need to read the code. Heat has to call into the
DLL (using SelfReg) to capture the registry keys. If you can't do that
then heat can't help you. Thus your only option is to actually
understand the code that is called during SelfReg and pull out all those
registry keys.
Did the verbose log file show this registry key being written? What was
the value of ProductCode when the registry key was written?

The RemoveFile element is probably useless below (that is for removing
files that are *not* described by your install). Take a look at a
verbose log file and see if your Component is being uninstalled. My
first bet is that some other product is holding on to it (or you've
duplicated a GUID).

You'll find that the rules are very strict but not enforced and you
