Post uninstall executed in GUI, skipped in silent
We want to use merge modules to have a structured setup. We almost works, but we have troubles with the uninstaller.
One of the problems is that the sub-uninstaller exhibits a different behaviour, whether it's launched "normally" or with the "-i gui" option.
When we launch the uninstaller directly, it's silent (no GUI windows ...) by default, and it does some work, but the actions in the "post-uninstall" stage are not performed (we remove some log files with these actions).
Now if we launch the same uninstaller with "-i gui", we get a GUI window and all, but the odd thing is that those log files are properly removed.
This difference in behaviour is very strange... Does anyone have an idea about this? Thanks a lot...

Could you please list out the actions which are not working in the Post-Uninstall.
Thanks,

The action was a straightforward "install file" action, with the "do not uninstall" box unchecked (that is, do uninstall the file).
To work around the problem, we have created a piece of java custom code which removes a file in the "uninstall()" method.
