1606 Could not access location
All I'm saying is that if you remove the location that the software is
installed to, it is unreasonable to uninstall, repair, reinstall, or perform
any other operation since the location the software has been installed to no
longer exists. What do you want Windows Installer to do differently? It has no
chance to even confirm that the directories were removed since the volume they
reside on is no longer accessible.
This is expected behavior from WI, and is "By Design". Nothing wix can do to
change it. Either restore the volume or get MsiZap.

Are you saying that TARGETDIR should not be set to
\\wmiscratch\scratch\davut\DaRT? But that's where software was installed
right?. Installer should be setting it internally. My problem is; if the share
become unavailable then there seems to be no way out. Can't uninstall or
repair, or install on top of existing.

MSI (c) (4C:38) [13:48:25:762]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying TARGETDIR property.
Its current value is 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery
Toolset'. Its new value: '\\wmiscratch\scratch\davut\DaRT'.
This line seems to me to be the primary reason. TARGETDIR is the location where
the software has been installed. It seems to me that it can’t erase it out of
the network share if the network share doesn’t exist.
The MSDN docs say that KB886549 can also produce 1606 errors
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/en-us). But, instead I think it is
something wrong in your directory table and/or passed in command-line values.

Hi Rob - Thank you for your reply. Do you mean I require network share to exist
during uninstall (in the WIX code)? Isn't that a requirement by MSI which I
don't have control over? Here is the log. I couldn't understand anything useful
other than error code. ...Id start 13:48:25: CostFinalize.MSI (c) (4C:38)
