[wix-users] Uninstall of msi should trigger uninstall of bootstrapper

[Christopher Painter]

Generally you use ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT   ( set via MsiPackage @Visible=No element/attribute in your bundle ) to hide the MSI from Programs and Features and only expose the bootstrapper.  This way the bootstrapper can handle the package dependency relationships per your implemented requirements.

Subject: [wix-users] Uninstall of msi should trigger uninstall of bootstrapper

Hi,
I'm delivering a plugin (In chained msi in our custom bootrapper) for a
software. When the user uninstalls that software, it automatically triggers
the uninstall of its plugins (internally via Windows Installer Service i.e.
msi). But that leaves our Bootstrapper there in Control Panel. Now if
someone tries to uninstall it, bootstrapper would be asking to Install
itself (again) which would be failed as the parent software which will host
the plugin is not there.
Is there any event, which could trigger the uninstall of Bootstrapper
whenever the chained msi is triggered to uninstall?

Thanks a bunch.
Farrukh
