[wix-users] Trigger uninstall of bootstraper if chained msi is uninstalled

Hi ,
I'm delivering a plugin (in a 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.
*Q:* Is there any event, which could trigger the uninstall of Bootstrapper
whenever the chained msi is triggered to uninstall?
I'm thinking to write a custom action in msi which may do the job, but I
would like to know if a better solution is there.
Thanks a bunch.
Farrukh
