I have 5 merge modules that install web services. These merge modules are created with Visual Studio .NET. The problem is that when the software is uninstalled only 1 of the 5 modules gets uninstalled properly. I need all of them to be uninstalled properly and I am wondering if anyone knows why I would be getting these results. Below is a portion of the install and uninstall log files. Also, I have checked the directory table and there is no apparent reason for the confusion seen in the logs below. I have a workaround to this, but I'd like to have the uninstall work the proper way.
(If you copy and paste the text below into Notepad it will be easier to read.)

Premier support from Microsoft helped me solve this one. The componentids for several components in the merge modules were the same. The validation tool showed the errors. There is still a problem as to why Visual Studio .NET is creating the merge modules this way when each of the components is actually unique except for the filename. It really isn't a problem with Windows Installer.
