Subject: [WiX-users] How to delete the extracted MSI after install



I have a VC++ bootstrapper with an embedded MSI.
during install MSI gets extracted to the %USERPROFILE% path.

How do i clean up the extracted MSI after install?? 
Should i be doing it from the bootstrapper or from with in the WiX-MSI??
