There has been a previous thread on this which I copied for your
convenience
Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Make User Run exe when the msi is run
If the issue is that your Launch Condition prevents an uninstall, then
you probably need your LaunchConditions to be
performed only on an install. In your UI sequence and your Execute
sequence, put a condition of Not Installed on the LaunchConditions
action. Visual Studio setups do this by default, probably to stop
people getting into the situation that you've got, even though launch
conditions can be useful for uninstall conditions too.

HI there
Basically i have had to take this conditon out for the mean time as its
not allowign the uninstall of the product using the add remove programs
feature.
If there is any information on this i would be greatfull, i have read
the below article and im still none the wiser. I need to be able to only
install the product from the exe (No msi install) and i need to be able
to un-install from the add remove programs from control panel without

Subject: [WiX-users] Forcing the usage of the Bootstrapper instead of
MSI
Hi, I generated a bootstrapper using the msistuff.exe SDK tool and now
we want to force the user to launch the installler only from the
bootstrapper (not by executing the MSI).
Is there any chance to achieve this?
Thanks!
