Suite application re-installs prerequisites even when uninstalling
I have a Suite project that installs a package which has a prerequisite. It installs and uninstalls great. The problem is, even when I uninstall the suite app (from Add/Remove Programs) the app's prerequisite re-installs.
Not a critical issue, but a time waster and a bit strange. I should mention this is a prerequisite I created myself with the Prerequisite Editor. I suspect there's a way within the editor to avoid this problem ... does anyone know how? :confused:

It sounds like you're wrapping up a Basic MSI project with setup.exe and prerequisites for use as an EXE package. I would suggest either turning the prerequisite into another package and including the MSI as an MSI package, or looking for an alternate way to remove it (consider what the uninstall string would run, perhaps something like this: [SystemFolder]msiexec.exe /qb /x {PROD-UCT-CODE-HERE}).
