Re: [WiX-users] help controlling uninstall bundle behavior

2013-06-14 Thread jo...@msli.com 
After much reading, I am trying to use bundle the wrong way.  

By design the bundle is the unified user interface to the stuff
installed.

Instead I will simply let the bundle appear in Programs and Features,
and hide everything that will be uninsulated by the bundle.

Some 3rd party ExePackages don't want to uninstall via the bundle
anyway.

That makes a great deal of sense. smile/

Too bad the ExePackages won't uninstall cleanly. DetectConditions are still
important.

[WiX-users] help controlling uninstall bundle behavior

2013-06-13 Thread jo...@msli.com 
I need some help finding a good behavior for uninstalling using bundles.

My bundle installs 4 things (wxs at end of this message):
 Two ExePackage, 
 Two MsiPackage

From Control Panel-Programs and Features, 
I see an entry for each item in my chain, which I like.

I also see multiple entries for my bundle, which I don't like as it
could confuse the users.

Additionally, Uninstalling the bundle does not uninstall the items in
the chain, it simply removes the bundle from Control Panel-Programs
and Features which seems like busy work.

My ignorant view, and please correct me if I'm wrong, thinks users will
be confused by seeing bundle in Control Panel-Programs and
Features, in addition to the chained packages, so maybe it should not
be there, as it has no functional purpose.

I see two Bundle attributes:
 DisableModify  
 DisableRemove
which seem to address hiding my bundle in Control Panel-Programs and
Features, but not cleanly?
