Possibly the detectcondition is preventing removal. Check the value of KeyA in the log during a removal.

I am creating a bootstrapper installer supporting remote payload, the way I'm doing it now is to create a Msi package firstly and then use setupbld.exe to convert it into an exe file (named InstallerA.exe), and then use the following wxs file to create a bootstrapper installer (named InstallerB.exe) <Chain DisableSystemRestore="yes"> <PackageGroupRef Id="MyPackage"/> </Chain> ...... <Fragment> <util:RegistrySearch Root="HKCU" Key="Whatever" Value="Whatever" Format="raw" Variable="KeyA"/> <PackageGroup Id="MyPackage"> <ExePackage DownloadUrl="http://myurl/InstallerA.exe"; SourceFile="InstallerA.exe" Cache="yes" Compressed="no" PerMachine="yes" Vital="yes" DetectCondition="NOT KeyA" /> </PackageGroup> </Fragment> Note that InstallerA.exe is actually stored remotely. After that, I noticed that InstallerA.exe works perfectly, but InstallerB.exe only works at installation stage. When I use InstallerB.exe to uninstall, it never remove the program from my system. Do you have any idea why is it please? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ExePackage-unin stall-doesn-t-work-tp7583002.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
