Is there a way of finding these outy, other than trawling the registry?
Would heat help here?
Cheers

If you know the exact registry entries for the registration you can just
author entries into a "cleanup" component to remove them from the registry
and to delete the file. Removals always are scheduled before writes, and you
can schedule the "cleanup" component to run just one time by giving it an
empty guid and condition it to run only if the file to be removed is
detected.

Subject: [WiX-users] removing a com component a legacy install leaves behind

Hi:
I'm in the process of porting a legacy install to wix, and the legacy
install leave a dll registered. I need to unregister this dll and delete the
directory before continuing with my install. What is the best way of doing
this?
And how can I ensure that this runs before any directories get created on
the target system i.e the first item in the installExecute sequence. This
only need to happen once if the product is not installed and if the file
exists.
Cheers
Sean.
