Are you looking in the .msp or the .pcp? Which version of patchwiz and 
msimsp are you using? Nothing jumps out as wrong but you might want to 
specify

<PatchProperty Name="MinimumRequiredMsiVersion" Value="300" />

to mark the patch as requiring MSI 3.0. I don't think MSI takes it into 
account in determining uninstallability, however.
