It might be appropriate to use MSIPackage/@Permanent and a condition of "
ConfigRequiresIt and not ProductDetected" (set with a product search). If the
package was present before the bundle was installed, there's some third party
thing using it and you don't know when it's safe to remove (if ever). Only
the user would know. With that condition, Burn only installs it if it didn't
exist beforehand and I'd presume never removes it if it never installed it.

I'm assuming that the package would remain visible in ARP or not for the user
to remove themselves if Burn didn't touch it.

Subject: [WiX-users] Conditional MsiPackage

I have an msi in my bundle that is only installed for a particular config but
I don't want to uninstall it if the end user has it installed. Is there any
way to do this with the MsiPackage element? I don't think I can use
InstallConidtion as the documentation says it will uninstall it.
