1. Is there any info online that describes how to do "patch in a bundle"? I found some info online, but not very complete. If patch is inside a bundle, then the patch would be delivered as an .exe file? Not sure if that satisfy our requirements.
2. One thoughts going around is whether we could apply ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property to the bootstrapper, and not the MSI. Is it possible to block the bootstrapper from showing up in the Add/Remove Program? Would that cause problems if one installs from bootrapper, and uninstalls from MSI entry in ARP?
