Custom BA could set the RequestState on the package correctly and avoid all the 
issues you describe.

Subject: [WiX-users] (Burn) question about not upgrading a MSI

Hello,

I am using burn at the moment to install 2 separate MSI files which I set to 
visible so I end up with 3 ARP entries which is fine with me.

My burn UI have a checkbox which allow me not to install the second MSI if I do 
not want to upgrade that one. For this, I did not use InstallCondition 
because I do not want it to also uninstall. So I pass the check box value as a 
property to the MSI which will exit successfully early on 
(WixExitEarlyWithSuccess custom action).

The only problem I have left is that when installing an upgrade of the bundle 
and not upgrading that second MSI, it is still uninstalled by the automatic 
removing of the previous bundle. Is there anyway I can prevent this from 
happening?

If I use permanent=yes on the MsiPackage, that could be fine but I still want 
the bundle to uninstall it if the user explicitly uninstall the bundle manually.

Thanks,

Pat
