[wix-users] Wix Bootstrapper Not Uninstalling Self Upgraded MSI

[Arjen Mercado]

Hi Rob,

Regarding your question “How would the bundle rollback the independent MSI after it was uninstalled?”, the bundle installed the MSI but it was upgraded independently. I would think the bundle would still be able to uninstall it when the bundle itself is uninstalled due to the MSI having the same upgradecode. Instead I am finding the MSI orphaned and left installed when uninstalling the bundle.

I think I understood the question. I was leaving hints to help think through the full design to help understand the current behavior before attempting to work around it.

I may be doing a bad job explaining the issue. This post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28618422/wix-bootstrapper-with-individual-upgraded-msi-wont-uninstall describes my exact issue and I'm trying to confirm if the answer given is correct and if so, is there a work around?
