[wix-users] Need some help fixing this Burn script...

Setting Permanent="yes" on the ExePackage and MsiPackage elements will
disallow uninstallation of those packages. That means the bundle will never
uninstall the packages which is probably not what you want.

I expect you could decide what to do for rollback on a package by package
basis if you write a custom bootstrapper application but somebody with more
experience will need to confirm that as I've never written a custom
bootstrapper application.
