My installer is fairly simple and only installs two files. I just added
the VC8 runtime merge module to my installer. Installation time increased
a little, but the time to uninstall increased a lot. Towards the end of
the uninstall, the uninstaller appears to wait for 2:45 and gives the
appearance that it has hung. I know it hasn't because I'm monitoring the
task manager and I see msiexec churning, but my average user won't know
this and will think it has locked up.
My application which I'm distributing is built with C/C++ and I am
including the VC runtime merge module in my installer. When I uninstall,
the uninstaller gets half way through, with the message "Please wait while
the Setup Wizard removes My Product", and sits there for almost three
minutes.
My first question is, is this a known/expected issue? Is there a workaround?
I ran the uninstaller with the following:
MyInstaller.msi /l* output.txt
I'm new to Wix, so my second question is, is this the way to debug the
installer/uninstaller, or is there a more verbose method?
While the uninstaller was churning, I opened up the log file and the last
logs were:

...which doesn't do me much good (those aren't my GUIDs).
Maybe the issue has to do with my installer file. Here's what I currently

Is there anything glaring wrong? Did I mess up the VC runtime merge module?
Sorry for the really long message... I didn't know how else to describe
the issue.
