Hello all,
I'm pretty new to Wix.
I'm using Windows Installer XML Toolset Compiler version 3.11.0.1701
I want to uninstall a NSIS thrid party exe which was installed using Wix
Bootstrapper.
Currently the Wix Bootstrapper is not capable of doing this because the NSIS
installer creates a separate exe(Uninstall.exe) for uninstallation.
I searched the internet and I found a workaround is available by using a
custom action for the uninstallation process:

I'm wondering if it's possible to uninstall without using custom action.
Please let me know the easiest solution/alternative for uninstallation of
third party exe based on NSIS.
