I would have thought that the design bug would have been obvious based merely
on understanding of CA scheduling. Stefan has a great article on the subject
that I frequently refer InstallShield users to. I can remember a day years ago
when I read it ( and your component rules truth statemetns blog ) where I said
to myself `I don't really understand this completely, but I can tell that it's
super important and I'm going to keep reading it everyday until I do.`
I know transacted installations are a `good thing` but it's pretty darn
impossible if the underlying technology that is being configured doesn't
support it. It's not like you can create an RBF file and use it to bring the
user back to life. And last time I checked, the Winnt:// provider's computer
object only has a delete method and not a commit and revert method.
I'll stop there because if I go any further I'd be giving a reccomendation on
what I think it should do....

This is a bug a dev in VS (Mike) pointed out fairly recently and is
going through the exercise of investigating the options to see which is
the lesser of all evils. He also found that the extended permission
custom action didn't correctly reset ACLs on rollback and is working
through that bug right now. Of course, the Windows Installer made it
tricky because it appears to revert permissions on registry keys on
rollback no matter what.
Ahh, the joys of writing system modifying custom actions for the Windows
Installer.
