Hi praveen,
There are lot of CustomActions which you need to troubleshoot.Also in the log, check for Return Value 3 , that will help you in debugging faster

Also as u have mentioned, that the app works fine in UI then compare the logs of UI with the one installed in silently. There must be CA's which are not excuted during silent installation.Then you need to add those changes to make it work.

Hi Shwetha,
thank you for ur help. I tried analysing log file it is showing Return value 3 as u said, and it is mentioning about the Installexecsequence. so, i checked the Installexecsequence table in my mst and there i found an action EnableSilentFeatures. for which the condition was given as Not Installed And UILevel<5.So i tried with changing the condition as Installed And UILevel<5.And now silent installation is working fine but uninstallation is not happening. Its saying Fatal error during installation..
Could you plz help me in this regard.

By changing that condition from 'Not Installed' to 'Installed' you have prevented the CA from running during installation and made it run on uninstallation. You should be looking at the 'UILevel' property. Check it out on MSDN.
