[wix-users] WiX Burn - cached bundle is not removed on uninstall

Thu Jun 21 09:02:48 PDT 2018

Is it possible the bundle stays behind because it can't tell whether or not
the per-user package has been uninstalled for all possible users on the
system? In that case, it *must* stay behind so that other users can
uninstall properly.
