[wix-users] Simple Wix File Creating Lot Of Problem

[Imran baloch]

Hi All,
I have very simple requirement. Whenever any of my user install msi then remove the existing files and use the new ones and run some commands to install or remove the exe and add a entry to windows etc folder. 
1) First I get this error ICE03: Invalid Language Id; Table: File, Column: Language, Key(s): Fl_32_MyService.dll2) When I delete all files and try to run the msi then only remove option appears which shows an unknown error. I dont want remove to come.

This is my wix file,
