The issue is that I expect in both scenarios to behave the same, /qr does
the right thing, REINSTALL=ALL is not the behavior I need. /qb (or /qn) are
doing something which I don't want (reinstalling the whole feature). I've
tried setting REINSTALL=NULL but it's not working either. 

How can I force the MSI to set the proper feature action state when running
without UI (/qb, /qn) ?

Thanks,

Eitan

When the UI sequence is run, it supplies the feature action states. When 
it's skipped, MSI figures out what to do. If you have to use /qr, I'd 
suggest setting REINSTALL to ALL.
