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

Info on RollbackBoundary:

http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/rollbackboundary.html
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/What-is-a-rollback-boundary-td7579098.html

There's Bootstrapping tutorial on the FireGiant website but it doesn't
really explain how RollbackBoundary works. ;-)

https://www.firegiant.com/wix/tutorial/net-and-net/bootstrapping/

I also see that Chain has a DisableRollback attribute.

http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/chain.html

I'd use Chain/@DisableRollback with caution.
