    Tip: Removing 'sensitive info' from created 'Uninstall.xml'

    making the information included in an 'Uninstall.xml' more 'secure':

    there can be scenarios where personal information - data gathered from
    'end user' during an install routine eg: any product registration information,
    where Product Uninstall functionality is included, and session variabled assigned,
    as we know, session variables with valid values are automaticlly expanded and
    entered in the uninstall.xml.

    one easy way to 'automatically remove' Non Essential session variables -'values'
    from the Uninstall.xml during install routine is to take advantage of
    SessionVar.Remove or SessionVar.Set, using these at the appropriate
    point during the routine, viola, sensitive information is not included in the
    created xml file.

    fwiw
