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.
