Uninstalling bundle does not remove exe package

I have a the following bundle.wxs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
     xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"
     xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension">

  <Bundle Name="<%= @product_name %>"
          Version="<%= @short_version %>"
          Copyright="<%= @copyright %>"
          UpgradeCode="..."
          DisableModify="yes"
          DisableRemove="no"
          IconSourceFile="<%= @icon_path %>"
          Manufacturer="<%= @vendor %>">
      <Chain>
        <!-- Prerequisites as ExePackage or MsuPackage 
        ...
        -->

        <ExePackage DisplayName="<%= @product_name %>"
                    Name="<%= @product_name_short %>"
                    Cache="no"
                    PerMachine="no"
                    SourceFile="Releases/Setup.exe"
                    Permanent="no"
                    Compressed="yes"
                    Vital="yes">
          <ExitCode Value="1638" Behavior="success"/>
        </ExePackage>
      </Chain>
  </Bundle>
</Wix>

All the prerequisites are machine-wide, the main installer is per user (it's a squirrel.windows installer).

The name of the ExePackage element is identical to the name of the installer.

When I uninstall the bundle, the main installer does not get invoked.

I also tried adding a custom action to the end of the chain in order to explicitly uninstall the application. The technique is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34111659/1151959

The custom action doesn't get called on uninstall either:

  <ExePackage SourceFile=".\custom-action.cmd"
              InstallCommand="echo test >c:\temp\install.txt"
              UninstallCommand="echo test >c:\temp\uninstall.txt" />

I get the install.txt but not the uninstall.txt.

See the uninstall log below (with sensitive data replaced):

For an exe to uninstall the installer must detect it, unlike MSI's there is no automatic detection for exe files.

In your case the state of the exe package is:

"Planned package: custom_action.cmd, state: Absent, " (when it should be: "Planned package: custom_action.cmd, state: Present, ').

I think implementing a 'DetectCondition' for the ExePackage should solve the issue (just be sure the implement it correctly because the detect condition is also evaluated on install...)
