#2 is reasonable. Most users expect maintenance to take place from ARP. Also,
most people expect to update from either: 1) a small pop-up service; 2)
directly from the update bundle/MSI; or 3) from the application (usually the
"Help" menu). For the future, I'd be all in favor of a separate ARP button for
"Update", but that's not a reasonable proposition in the near term.

We have a serious regression in Burn -- http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4486/ --
so we'll have to take a fix. That being the case, I'm +1 for #2, to disable
Update when called from ARP, if someone wanted to open a bug.

1. If we set DisableModify="button" we get an Uninstall/Change button that
triggers maintenance mode, so the BA wouldn't go straight into uninstall. +1 on
doing this for WiX v3.9.
2. Someone could still run the bundle with a switch, so we should disable
Update when /uninstall is passed. +0 on doing this for WiX v3.9; +1 for v3.10.
3. Confirming the /uninstall switch...+0. Personally, I turn off "are you sure"
prompts and only occasionally yell when I screw up. :)

I'd agree. I don't think a double click should auto uninstall without
confirmation. For WixSTDBA the BA prompts for an uninstall or modify whereas
the WixBA does not. What is the expected behavior of WixBA on double click?
Prompt to uninstall and if cancel abort? Would you only want a Modify to allow
for update checking?
I won't be available for Thursdays meeting, but maybe we can get it on the
agenda for next Thursday.

When you double click on WiX in ARP, you're asking it to uninstall. I thought
there was an issue open asking for WixBA to ask for confirmation but I can't
find it.
It looks like this is not the same issue I submitted. Here's the steps that I
think happened:
1. You double clicked on WiX in ARP, causing it to send the uninstall command
line to WixBA.
2. During the initial detect cycle, WixBA successfully found an update.
3. WixBA parses the command line and automatically starts uninstalling.
4. You click the Update button.
5. After the uninstallation completes, WixBA goes ahead and tries to do an
UpdateReplace.
So I think the core issue is that WixBA let you click the Update button. It
probably shouldn't enable the button until it's waiting on the user to decide
which action to take. I think it would be even better if it was able to skip
checking for updates entirely if the command was specified on the command line.
