How does WiX handle the deletion of the user if rollback is disabled by policy?

On the MSI 4.5 aspect I would caution you to not get your hopes up. I
haven't looked at the final details but I thought on one pass through
the Beta I saw that all commits by MSI are not done until the whole
multi-package transaction is committed. This makes a lot of sense if
you consider the things done during the MSI commit as things that
"cannot be rolled back". For example, WiX uses commit transactions to
delete users. If those were committed in the middle of a multi-package
transaction that was then canceled, we'd be screwed because there is no
way to bring a user back (with the same SID anyway).
