I need some help finding a good behavior for uninstalling using bundles. My bundle installs 4 things (wxs at end of this message): Two ExePackage, Two MsiPackage
>From "Control Panel"->"Programs and Features", I see an entry for each item in my chain, which I like. I also see multiple entries for my bundle, which I don't like as it could confuse the users. Additionally, Uninstalling the bundle does not uninstall the items in the chain, it simply removes the bundle from "Control Panel"->"Programs and Features" which seems like busy work. My ignorant view, and please correct me if I'm wrong, thinks users will be confused by seeing bundle in "Control Panel"->"Programs and Features", in addition to the chained packages, so maybe it should not be there, as it has no functional purpose. I see two Bundle attributes: DisableModify DisableRemove which seem to address hiding my bundle in "Control Panel"->"Programs and Features", but not cleanly? http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_bundle.htm says I just find some other way to clean out my bundle, but no examples given. Has anyone found a nice recipe for dealing with bundles? My Wxs for the Bundle follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; > <Bundle Name="$(var.BundleExe)" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="$(var.MyCompanyName)" Copyright="(c) All rights reserved."
