Heh... for now as a workaround I am having the ExePackage kill the parent process (the bootstrapper) when the user cancels it... in order to keep the ARP entry... at least it works... :-/

Is there a "standard", pre-determined "user cancelled" exit code I can use? I am able to change the code returned from this package. It is an ExePackage. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Puza [mailto:dp...@ultra-scan.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 6:45 PM To: WiX-users Subject: [WiX-users] Burn uninstall fails - bundle is removed from ARP Does this make sense? The first package in the bundle that attempts to uninstall returns an error code (Package Vital="yes"). Processing stops and Setup Failed, as I would expect. However the ARP entry for the bundle gets removed. I would expect that to remain intact. Is that indicated by the two lines in the log, "Removing ... bundle..." ? Is there something I can configure so the ARP entry does not get removed? Or could this be a bug? I am using WiX build 3.6.1929.0.
