This is a known bug in Windows Installer. ( See MS KB2564571 ) I've personally seen it on Windows 7 but I haven't seen it on Vista. I personally no longer set the MsiLogging property since the functionality can't be trusted to actually work. The KB has a possible workaround if you are stuck trying to uninstall.

When I go to uninstall it from Programs and Features in Vista I get a message saying "Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable" If I run the MSI directly I can uninstall the application. It is a Web application installed into inetpub\wwwroot.
