I just noticed the dedicated uninstall exe requirement. If you search this list, there are some people who have had success writing a stub installation wrapper exe that on install runs the installation package and on uninstall runs the uninstallation program.

For each ExePackage if you supply an @UninstallCommand attribute with the uninstall command-line for the EXE installer used, then burn will remove that package for you. To suppress the ARP entries for your ExePackages you would need to supply the appropriate command-line argument for those packages. Many EXE packages do not have one. It is currently considered bad practice to uninstall the C++ runtime exe-based packages, due to the high degree of risk of breaking other people's installations. > Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 02:18:51 -0700 > From: dren...@hotmail.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn: define other exe as uninstaller > > did u figured this out? > I'm having the same problem, as I need on Uninstall > to remove both my Software and PostgresQL. > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-define-other-exe-as-uninstaller-tp7561898p7589056.html > Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! > 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint > 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
