Description
Install an app using the Generic Installer .msi (not one of the o*line.exe's). Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel.
Observe: only App X Packages is installed (not App X.X.X).
Problem: App X Packages cannot be uninstalled (it is normally removed when uninstalling App X.X.X).
Workaround: I've added a shortcut in the start menu to "Uninstall ", or users can uninstall using this microsoft utility.
