Well I posted about this a while ago, but I've still not found a solution so I figured I'd try again.
What happens is that when I attempt to uninstall the application the three DLLs that are installed with it are left on the system. The installation fragments for these DLLs were created with tallow -s, and the local references in there have been changed. All three are in the sytem32 folder. (and yes I KNOW I shouldn't put them there but that's outwith my control) What I DO get in the verbose log is: MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: readerComp; Installed: Local; Request: Absent; Action: Null MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: writerComp; Installed: Local; Request: Absent; Action: Null MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: serverComp; Installed: Local; Request: Absent; Action: Null MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __LanMonExeComp65; Installed: Null; Request: Absent; Action: Absent MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __readerComp65; Installed: Null; Request: Absent; Action: Null MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __serverComp65; Installed: Null; Request: Absent; Action: Null MSI (s) (80:B4) [13:06:01:687]: Component: __writerComp65; Installed: Null; Request: Absent; Action: Null So it seems that they're not being uninstalled for some reason. What the hell are reader\writer\serverComp65 ? I don't get anything which says stuff like "Disallowing uninstallation of component...since another client exists" Even using regsvr32 (yes I shouldn't use this either - I know) to reg/unreg the DLLs still leaves them behind on uninstall.
