[WiX-users] Burn - MSIPackage InstallCondition evaluates to false, attempts minor upgrade

[Pally Sandher]

Relevant parts of my code:

    <util:ProductSearch Id="SharedContent"
                        Variable="SharedContentVersion"
                        Guid="92E2C426-6CDB-44D4-8D48-6414A442231D"

If I run VESharedContent.msi manually, it won't install as expected (earlier 
version installed). Why is Burn trying to be clever & running a minor upgrade & 
how do I make it stop without removing that MSIPackage?
