[wix-users] How to disable Counting package reference for msi package

I believe you can override reference counting by handling PlanPackageBegin event in a custom bootstrapper application

You are so nice to reply me. Until now I still haven't solved this issue. So many scenarios I can't uninstall program derive from the Counting package reference. 
Expecting experts to help.

I remember seeing code to reference associate the MSIs that bundles install, but I don't recall if it's in the default flow or not. 
 
Hoping this prompts someone with better recollection than I at this point to jump in with something more authoritative.

Hi guys, 
I have a question to ask for help. 
 I have a same msi A built in several bundles, and I want all bundle which include the msi A installed can uninstall msi A ,or only the one which installed it can uninstall it. 
But as the feature Counting package reference built in msi package, if any bundle else was installed, none of the bundles can uninstall msi A directly. So I want to know how can I disable Counting package reference for msi package. 
Expecting for your reply! 
 
Thank you!
