Yet another minor query for all you WIX pros out there. I just realized that
running the batch command after uninstall in my case fails because by the
time I reach the "batch-file" functionality, the actual batch file has
already been uninstalled by WIX. Is there a way (I am sure there is) that I
can execute the Custom Action to run the batch file right before the
execution of the uninstallation procedure begins? To be specific, a user
selects "Remove" and the first thing that happens is the batch file gets
executed before anything else.
Thanks, guys!

Thanks so much for the replies, guys! Great help!! By the way, Levi was
correct to assume that I want to run the batch file only on uninstall :).
Thanks again, both of you!
