After much reading, I am trying to use bundle the wrong way. By design the bundle is the unified user interface to the stuff installed.
Instead I will simply let the bundle appear in "Programs and Features", and hide everything that will be uninsulated by the bundle. Some 3rd party ExePackages don't want to uninstall via the bundle anyway.
