In the new version of our product all of the Files and registry keys
are in different places apart from a few third party things (which is
what I suspect the log is telling me it will not remove). We have
build numbers for each generation of our product, so the previous
version put all it's reg values under 14000, the new one under 15000.
The same goes for the program files folder. From what I can tell this
means that the component GUIDs should be changed at each release.
However the 15000 hive is still found in the registry after
uninstallation... if the 14000 hive is there.
Every release that you want to live side-by-side with others must have
different component GUIDs with different paths -- unless it's a shared
resource, in which case it must have the same component GUID. And that's
an oversimplification.<g>
I'd expect versioned paths to get uninstalled when the matching SxS
product is uninstalled. If you uninstall all versions, do all the keys
get uninstalled? Maybe there's a lingering component...
