Hey.
How does the detection mechanism in the WiX bootstrapper work?
I have two MSIs, both of which are made with WiX. One of them is detected by
the bootstrapper, the other isn't:
[119C:1814][2011-06-17T11:32:33.849+01:00]: Initializing string variable
'MbaNetfxPackageId' to value 'Netfx4Full'

to value ''

[119C:1814][2011-06-17T11:32:36.660+01:00]: Shutting down, exit code: 0x0
On this machine, both Headline.Agent and Headline.Player are installed.
However, only the features (and consequently package) for Headline.Player get
detected as present. What decides whether or not a package is detected?
