[wix-devs] Queue creation custom action

[Fyodor Koryazhkin]

Hi,
Yes, I experienced this my self. Below is the test project.
I am not sure that this can be defined as a bug. It can be described as
"misuse because of poor documentation" because the Group Administrators is
added automatically by queue creation function and therefore is not removed
during uninstallation. But if it is added explicitly by the user - that
makes the difference.
