[wix-users] Wix boostrapper not calling msi file during uninstall when DisplayInternalUI is set to yes in bundle.

[vakul]

Hi Sanket,

I know the UI is not shown during uninstall, but problem is when I uninstall
the boostrapper, it only uninstalls itself and doesn't uninstall the msi.
As, it doesn't call msi during uninstall. But, when I set DisplayInternalUI
to no, it uninstalls the msi fine.

Best regards,
Vakul

Hi Vakul,

This is by design. Only the installation will show the msi dialogs but the
uninstall will perform its action without the UI.
