Re: [WiX-users] My First Bundle! :)

Hi, Thanks for that Rob. Looked at the logs and solved that particular issue. The only issue I have left now is that the Bundle itself appears in the Add/Remove programs. Is there a way to hide it? Or should I be thinking about "hiding" the application and use the bundle as the UnInstaller?
