How to make Wix DetectCondition for ExePackage always True?

I'm making a burn installer with wix, and I have a specific ExePackage that I only want to run when uninstalling. I'm assuming that to do this, I need to make the detectCondition attribute for my ExePackage always be true.

How would I do this?

Setting it to "1" for any variable of type string for wix elements evaluates to true.

I found this worked (WiX v3.11):

<ExePackage
    (...)
    DetectCondition="1=1" />

I figured out a working solution.

I used the built-in condition "Privileged"

<ExePackage Id="CustomUninstallScript" SourceFile="../../platform/win/uninstall.bat" Vital="yes" DetectCondition="Privileged"/>

The Privileged condition will always be true, as the installer itself is set to request for admin rights. Therefore, this exe package will only execute on uninstall.
