[wix-users] Uninstall Burn if chained msi is triggered to uninstall

[Blair Murri]

Part of the whole idea of Burn is that it proactively takes charge of maintaining your MSI(s), which is why the MSI itself defaults to not showing up in ARP (when installed with Burn).

Burn registers its command lines in ARP so that it can show its UI for maintenance. Use those command lines.

Subject: [wix-users] Uninstall Burn if chained msi is triggered to uninstall

Hi experts,

I've installed a msi chained in my Burn based bootstrapper. Bootstrapper is
capable of Reinstalling/Uninstalling/Modifying its installation very well.
Now if I trigger the uninstall of msi directly either using msiexec /xcommand
line or from control panel (if msi is allowed to appear there), my
boostrapper wouldn't know that its child is being uninstalled.

*Q:* How to let Boostrapper application know that its delivered msi is
being removed so that it can respond with Maintenance Dialog to show?
