Hi all,
 
I've been away on training for a few days so haven't been near this. I've
been back through the logs and still can't make sense from it. A lot of
components are reported as null action in the logs, yet the files within
these components are removed from the directory. The cReg component is not
listed as null action yet the reg keys within it are left behind. Why do
these things always seem to boil down to a friday afternoon :(
 
I have attached a copy of the four log files. Since a few extra reg keys is
the only downside I am currently seeing I'm not going to lose to much sleep
over it. It's just annnoying.
 
Kind Regards
 
Simon

I have a few shared compoents that I will add the same guids back to as the
previous version, I'm sure that will kill off a few error messages in the
log file. When I uninstall the previous version after uninstalling the
current version, the current version reg keys are still left behind :(


The logs tell part of the story but you really need a full set:


1.      Install v1. 

2.      Install v2. 

3.      Check the v2 log around CostFinalize/InstallValidate to see which
components weren't installed because v1 installed them. 

4.      Uninstall v1 or v2. 

5.      Check the uninstall log to see which component were left behind:



        Disallowing uninstallation of component: {componentGuid} since
another client exists

6.      Uninstall the other. 

7.      Check the log to see if any components got a "null" action state.
Those are the ones that are really orphaned.
