No. You need to find the other product using your same component guid(s) and remove that application as well (it may be a broken old version of your own product that could not be removed).

The discussion I refer to is "WiX MSI not removing REG entries during removal", from 15 November 2007. Problem : 1. I install my product 2. I uninstall my product 3. Files are still here, reg keys too, and msi log states that "Disallowing uninstallation of component: {COMPONENT-GUID} since another client exists" Question : As it seems to be the rule, my product GUID is auto-generated to force major update (using a simple msi file). Do I have to auto-generate my components GUID as well, in order to avoid the problem described above ?
