Registry entries created with an action of 'write' are removed upon uninstall of the component. The action called 'createAndRemoveOnUninstall' applies to keys and removes all entries of that key, whether created by Windows Installer or not, and is not needed in most cases. It is a case of the name of the action following the official documentation even though the official label for the activity is misleading at best...

Dear Pally, I have the same problem. BIG HINT for all users! When you get heat.exe : warning HEAT5150 : Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL: TestProtocol.dll. If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this warning. Otherwise, this error detail may be helpful to diagnose the failure: Exception of type 'System.Exception' was thrown.. then probably you should try again as administrator! And make sure the DLL is not yet registered! But I have an important question: heat generates all entries with Action="write" Wouldn't it be better to use Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall' ?
