Description
Many desktop apps install one or more windows services in addition to the main app, e.g. a licensing service, device communication service etc. Such apps ask for packaged installation even more than others since they do wider modifications to the system, which would be nice to easily "rollback" (uninstall). Is any work being done to support this?
P.S. Sorry for the bug label, I don't know how to ask a question/request a feature without creating a bug.
