Burn adds entry in Program & Features upon installing pre-requisite, even if user cancels the installation of non-permanent Product

[wixbot]

Burn installs .Net framework as pre-requisite and launches the installation (Managed UI) of product with its first installation screen. At this point if user cancels the installation, there would be an entry of product left in Programs & Features applet of Control Panel as if product is installed. This actually creates a confusion to common users that if they have canceled the installation, how it seems to be installed there.

Now, if user tries to un-install, repair etc, it would re-launch the first installation screen of managed UI again, forcing users to first install the product.

If original source of installation is removed, this would end up with error, installed otherwise.

Burn should not add itself to Programs & Features if main product is not installed or canceled. Some flag should be available in Wix for Burn to allow this.

Well, following the mentioned thread http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4822/, I'm still unable to find any solution, although, it is taken as a Feature in 4822. So technically, it should not be marked as resolved..

It's resolved as a duplicate because there's an existing feature request.
