I had an installation which contained 2 features with components which was working properly. Now I had to add a third feature with components and I get problems uninstalling these components. Selecting the new feature during installation is working: The files are installed. But removing the setup does leave the files on the computer. I checked everything I know: e.g. no Conditions on the components, changed the component GUIDS etc., nothing helps. In the logfile of the removing I can see the following entries from InstallValidate For the feature: Feature: Installed: Local; Request: Absent; Action: Absent --> for me it means the feature should be removed For the components in the feature: Component: Installed: Local; Request: Absent; Action: Null --> The installer decides not to remove this components but why?
Any ideas where to look or what to change? Thank you for your help
I do not know why, but this seems to be the reason: I installed to a directory containing a dot (e.g. 1.0). When I removed de dot from the directory the installation / removing of the components worked fine.
