that claims to ignore the machine state. Same result.
Anyone seen this?

mandatory ones like the list of applications.

You shouldn't be doing this from an MSI, but from a bootstrapper. MSIs are not

Nope, this an immediate CA, that's all it does.
You can use another immediate CA to delete the file or with some more code
build a deferred CA and/or a wix extension that has this behavior.
