Tony,

That was the trick.  The GUIDs were not changed.

The OP is using ALLUSERS=1 so that would make the problem worse, not 
better (modifying HKCU in ALLUSERS would mean that the only the admin 
that installed it could uninstall it...)

It's probably not changing the component GUIDs - you have to change them 
when you change a component (and probably force a major upgrade so the 
old ones are uninstalled just to be safe) otherwise it thinks that 
nothing has changed and doesn't install the new ones.
