The bootstrapper will add itself to ARP (no real way to get around this nor do I think it would be a good idea), but it will hide the install of your other prerequisite installs. If you want the prerequisites to stay after uninstall, then attributing them not to be removed will prevent those from being uninstalled (MsiPackage/@Permanent='yes', ExePackage/@Permanent='yes', etc).

Hi all, I am using the BootStrapper to install requisites that stay on the machine after the companies product is removed... I have NO need for the bootstrapper to create a registry key under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall we install our product using the bootstrapper and remove it using ARP...so if you run the bootstrapper again it wants to repair or uninstall even though I have: <Bundle Name="$(var.ProductName)" Version="$(var.ProductVersion)" Manufacturer="$(var.ProductCompany)" UpgradeCode="12as34df-3e8b-49d1-85a7-093abd4cd3b5" <b>DisableModify="yes" DisableRemove="yes" DisableRepair="yes"* HelpTelephone="555-555-5555" HelpUrl="http://www.mycorp.com/support/index.php"; Copyright="Copyright © 2003 - 2013 MYCORP, Inc.
