I worked on one product where verbose logging quadrupled the installation time
of the MSI over no logging at all, but in my experience that was an extreme
case (a few years ago).
If you want to isolate that as an issue (for test purposes) install the msi by
itself using the command-line
Normally patch sequencing (and patch targeting) are done when building the MSPs
themselves by manipulating their applicability (targeting) and sequencing
(patchfamily) metadata.
In your MBA you can only control what users do using your bundle, you cannot

Thanks for the response Neil. We wrote a small exe as suggested and this
worked well, but we have found that the exe is not called again on uninstall.
The uninstall is called for the msi's in the reverse
Yes we defined those, but it wasn’t picking them up.
I’m not wanting to bother you good people with our own bug finding exercise if
the problem is of our own making, I’m more looking in to what we should be
doing. If those are the three items that should make it work then we can look
in to
Hi,
Did you set an UninstallCommand and RepairCommand for your ExePackage. You also
should provide a DetectCondition, so that burn can detect if your exe is
installed or not.

Markus,
It appears that the logic against our extra ‘checking’ package was incorrect.
We have now included two instances of the same executable, one before all
packages and one at the end.
The ‘DetectCondition’ for the one at the top is set to always ‘0’, so it will
always run on install,
Hello, all.
I'd like to disable some controls by burn's condition, VersionNT64 for
example.
It is possible without writing own bootstrapper application?
The single way, that I see - is RegistrySearch element, but it improper
for my case.
Thanks, Sergey.
I spent some time working on this issue also. I focused on my wixlib project
first, then the msi project, and then the bundle project, tracking down the
various reasons as to why I could not do an incremental build. I resolved
the problems in each level of building before trying to solve the
WRT possible left-over bundle entries in the Uninstall key...
Can a new bundle not 'handle' these entries if they exist (in other words...
not crash)

How is it crashing? Are you using a custom BA or WixStdBA? Do you have a
reproducible test case?
The BA certainly shouldn't crash.

I'm trying to set up a wxs script to handle two different conditions,

/DefineConstants
To your WixProj. Then you should be able to do:

Ah. Figured it out. It appears that the syntax of the conditional was
incorrect. This works:
?ifdef env.IsTfsBuildAgent ?
?define SourcePath = ..\..\..\binaries ?

I am not sure. Not a big deal as long as I know it is expected not to be signed.

Yes, that can be done. In fact, I did it last month. Someone knowledgeable with
MSBuild would be able to set that up in a short time. In fact, that other
project could build all or any combination of lang/bitness you want in one
invocation.
