The Component guid is the basis for Windows Installer properly sharing everything, so anything involving identical guids being used for different items (services, files, registry entries etc) is going to have unpredictable results.

When you attempt to uninstall the first one the files are removed for one but both services remain in the console window. 2. When you remove the second, the files and service are correctly removed. Leaving behind the first service in the services.msc window. In theory problem solved but do I still need to persist the SERVICE_LOGON_TYPE property to the registry and read it back on uninstall. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Windows-Service-Uninstall-Failing-Intermittently-tp2956986p2957378.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
