<MsiPackage Id="RADInstall1" InstallSize="112640" Cache="yes"
Compressed="no" Name="RADInstall1"
SourceFile="L:\MainProject\bin\Release\MainProject.msi" Vital="yes">
        <MsiProperty Name="TRANSFORMS"
Value="L:\MainProject\bin\Release\Jon.mst"/>
        <MsiProperty Name="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="c:\Common2D\MyProject"/>
        <MsiProperty Name="ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT" Value="1"/>


First,  I installed my little msi (only delivers a txt file. without the
<TRANSFORMS...> line and it installs and uninstalls fine.  I did this
several times.

However, Adding the <TRANSFORMS ...> line I can install but it does not
uninstall.

I created my transform by opening my little msi in Orca and starting the
transform... changed the Productname and ProductCode then saved the mst.

The above MsiPackage is in a Bundle's chain in the standard bootstrapper you
get just out of the wix toolset (DevStudio -> New project -> Wix
Bootstrapper).


I am about to abandon transforms.   I don't know how to get Wix to do them. 
Uninstalling is very important and just because it installs isn't good
enough.   How can I insure that it will uninstall?

Looks like to me, that tranforms cannot be in the msiPackage if you want to
support install, repair and uninstall.

There has to be a way...

Thanks
