If the value is yes then the Uninstall button will not be displayed. The default is no which ensures there is an Uninstall button to remove the bundle. If the DisableModify attribute is also yes or button then the bundle will not be displayed in Progams and Features and another mechanism (such as registering as a related bundle addon) must be used to ensure the bundle can be removed.
