REMOVE="ALL" is the right syntax. Must be time for a log:
Msiexec /x {your productcode guid} /l*v somepathtoalog.log

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall Custom action
No soap. I tried:
<Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">Remove="ALL"</Custom>
and
<Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom>
and
<Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">REMOVE="all"</Custom>
and
<Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">Remove="all"</Custom>
and
<Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">REMOVE="All"</Custom>
and
<Custom Action="DeleteCabs" Sequence="3490">Remove="All"</Custom>
With all I got the same results. It doesn't execute the DeleteCabs
CustomAction.
