I'm not seeing the use case for "always". If it's always supposed to be
installed, just don't specify an install condition (which means it always
gets installed).
I agree that the current way the Prereq BA always installs the prereq is
bad, it's why a bundle can't do cool things like make the Prereq BA install
.NET 4.0 on XP and 4.5.x on Vista and later.
