Yeah, I'm new to burn (and WiX in general), so I'm still getting the lingo down. Thanks!

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] *Package Permanent attribute Just means burn will not try to uninstall it. The package will also appear in ARP. -----Original Message----- From: Alain Forget [mailto:afor...@cmu.edu] Sent: May-31-13 4:37 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] *Package Permanent attribute Can someone please clarify the effect of the Permanent attribute for a package (e.g. MsiPackage, ExePackage)? The documentation (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_msipackage.htm) says, "Specifies whether the package can be uninstalled. The default is 'no'." Making a package impossible to uninstall seems extremely frustrating for a user, and in my own MsiPackage, when Permanent='yes', I can still uninstall it, so...I don't think I understand what it does.
