I am currently trying to uninstall a 2.0 .NET Assembly. I am using InstallShield 12 with SP1. The Assembly is registered correctly and installed to [ROOTWEB]WebsiteDir\Bin\AssemblyName.dll. The assembly was created using Visual Studio's 2005. I can install and uninstall the assembly using InstallScript and the installUtil.exe command line tool, but I want to do it through the actual InstallShield 12 UI using components settings.

Components Configuration:
Component settings listed below:
Destination: [ROOTWEB]WebsiteDir\Bin
Destionation Permissions: 0 Permissions defined
Compoent Code: {GUID VALUE}
Shared: No
Permanent: No
Condition:
Remote Installation: Favor Local
.NET Scan at Build: Properties Only
.NET Application File: [ROOTWEB]WebsiteDir\Bin\AssemblyName.dll
.NET Installer Class: Yes
.Net Installer Class Arguments:

Uninstall:
/LogFile="C:\Program Files\App\AssebmlyName.Uninstall.log" /ShowCallStack

RollBack:
/LogFile="C:\Program Files\App\AssebmlyName.Rollback.log" /ShowCallStack

.NET COM Interop: No
.NET Precompile Assembly: No
REG File to Merge At Build:

.NET Assembly settings in Advance settings:
Manifest: AssemblyName.dll
File Application: [ROOTWEB]WebsiteDir\Bin\AssemblyName.dll
Name: AssemblyName
Version: [PRODUCTVERSION]
PublicKeyToken: value

the install log and commit log gets created correctly but no uninstall log or rollback log is created with running the uninstall.

Did you try with installer class set to No? Do you really need to call this assembly as a install class custom action?

I was able to resolve this issue here was the solution (Thanks to Macrovision support). It turns out that there was registry key located at:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls

D:\Websites\website\bin\Assembly.dll

Value data set to: 1

This must of have been set from a previous version on my installatin package, well log story short even though the component was set to No for Shared the key already had a reference count of 1 so the installer would not call the uninstall on this assembly.
