[John Cooper]

Yes, Phil Hogland described a method of handling reboot from within a bundle somewhat further back.

So, I rebooted and then the uninstall did work.


Something in a prior test must have set a request for a reboot (there are some drivers and services that get installed via the msi).


Is there a way to detect and ignore (or at least, report) that a reboot is pending?

Yes, although it depends.  When you starting Plan Uninstall, what is being indicated for the desired states of the components of the bundle, and what is actually happening.  I had my upgrade code messing with uninstall, and I've also seen downgrade processing interfere.  I'm sure there are other ways.  Once I got the blockers cleared out, Plan Uninstall worked just fine.

That's what was originally in place and wasn't working.

Is there anything - state, method I may not have called, etc - that could potentially block the uninstall?

Cheers!
