Bob: Thanks for the info. I found some references to the Control | Publish @Event "AddLocal" / "Remove" information in the WiX Users archive. I was able to merge my limited understanding with the tutorial and MSI & WiX help files to come to the solution.
Assuming I get the opportunity, I will put together an example of how to do it and post it to the mail list. It might be info for the tutorial as well.
