I traced it down to the fact that I have two components each one with
its own .config file and XmlFile actions:
<Component Id="Component1" Guid="5E8AF024-F2E9-4A85-A0E9-FA098D12F585">
<File Id="Component1Config"
Source="Component1.exe.config" />
<util:XmlFile Id="Component1LogDirectory"
Action="setValue"
ElementPath="/configuration/diagnostics"
File="[INSTALLDIR] Component2.exe.config"
Name="logDirectory"
SelectionLanguage="XPath"
Value="[APPDATALOGS]" />
</Component>
<Component Id="Component2" Guid="A4AD9AC4-C073-49B8-BF17-AFA4DB61CCB1">
<File Id="Component2Config"
Source="Component2.exe.config" />
<util:XmlFile Id="Component2LogDirectory"
Action="setValue"
ElementPath="/configuration/diagnostics"
File="[INSTALLDIR]Component2.exe.config"
Name="logDirectory"
SelectionLanguage="XPath"
Value="[APPDATALOGS]" />
</Component>
If I remove either of XmlFile actions then uninstall works.

Ok, XmlFile works, but now I have a problem on uninstall. I get this
error
MSI (s) (3C:D0) [18:02:50:852]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI28.tmp, Entrypoint: ExecXmlFileRollback
ExecXmlFileRollback: Error 0x80070003: failed to open file: C:\Program
Files (x86)\MyProgram\MyService.exe.config
and uninstall rollbacks. What am I doing wrong? And how do I force
uninstall?

You need to add/change the following:
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";>
and
<util:XmlFile></util:XmlFile>
There are some changes in the syntax of WiX from 2.0 to 3.0. You need
to invest some time in reading 3.0 help file.

Build 3.0.4617.0, just created a new VS 2008 project, added
WiXUtilExtension and tried to use XmlFile:
error CNDL0005: "The Component element contains an unexpected child
element 'XmlFile'"
