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

Laying <ExitCode Behavior='success' Value='1'/> into the problematic
installer package did the trick. Burn script is now succeeding.
I am now looking at rollback boundaries and maybe using "Permanent" on the
MSI/EXE Package elements, but I think the best bet (as you alluded to) is
to have it uninstall gracefully if it does fail for another reason so I
will be looking at getting that working in the longer term.
Thanks so much, both of you. Great to see that WiX has such a supportive
and responsive community behind it!
