Ok it seems that Remove=ALL was not set for the following reason:
One of the features had a conditional installation, as following:
<Feature Id=" SharePoint_PowerShellFiles" Title="!(loc.ProductName)"
Level="0">
<Condition Level="1">
<![CDATA[STSADM2010]]>
</Condition>
<ComponentGroupRef Id="PowerShellFiles"/>
</Feature>
And when uninstalling via the UI REMOVE was not set to ALL.
ALSO, I noticed the components of that Feature were not removed from the
installation directory either...
Is there a scenario where STSADM2010 gets set when installing and NOT when
re-running the installer for removal?
This is how I set the property in product.wxs:
<Property Id="STSADM2010">
<DirectorySearch Id="SpsBinFolder" Depth="1"
Path="[CommonFiles64Folder]Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\bin">
<FileSearch Id="StsAdmExe2010" Name="stsadm.exe" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
Thanks,
Stelios

Sorry I am not a UI expert as we use a chainer for our UI.
I think your Maintenance UI needs to be setting the REMOVE to all somehow.
Try looking in the wix standard or mondo UI to see how that does it.
If your CA needs to be dependent on the MSI being uninstalled it needs to be
scheduled appropriately, i.e. after the REMOVE has been set correctly.

By the way my CA is scheduled AFTER InstallInitialize

You are right David, REMOVE was set to the features that were installed. So I
changed the condition so that the CA runs.
One problem down.
Now after completion, I can still see the product in "Products and Features",
and the files are not removed from the install location.
What do I need to do so that my Remove action via ui does the same thing as
when running the uninstallation process via "Products and Features"?
Thanks in advance,
Stelios

When is your custom action scheduled?
When you uninstall through the MSI your MSI is in maintenance mode. This
probably means that REMOVE is not set to ALL by default in case you choose some
other behaviour.
Check a log to see when REMOVE is being set and what to.

I'm new to WiX so don't know how to do it, but I think you need the elevation
shield attribute 0x00800000 set in the Control table on the button used to
uninstall the application. Try editing the msi package using InstEd to see if
it fixes the problem, then you can figure out how to achieve it in WiX.
