Hello,
We are trying to build an MSI that supports MultipleInstances and wrap it
with a custom Burn bootstrapper application.
Our MSIs install MultipleInstances successfully when we run them with
msiexec from the command line.
But running it through Burn doesn't do anything... the first instance
installs well, but any successive run of the bundle doesn't run the MSI at
all.
I can see that by the fact that a Burn log file is created - but an MSI log
is not.
*InstanceTransforms is defined in the MSI (inside <Product> element) in the
following way:*
<Property Id="INSTANCEID" Value="Default" />
<InstanceTransforms Property="INSTANCEID">
<Instance Id="I01"
ProductCode="{D9CCCA81-18A0-4f8c-B75B-3C639EF0F8C0}" ProductName="INST_I01"
/>
<Instance Id="I02"
ProductCode="{E43649D0-FCDE-451f-9CB9-E1C40B992B09}" ProductName="INST_I02"
/>
<Instance Id="I03"
ProductCode="{961A1D9E-030A-4cf7-A981-BB40A950336C}" ProductName="INST_I03"
/>
<Instance Id="I04"
ProductCode="{B409081C-BF0F-40d4-B472-CE69D2546869}" ProductName="INST_I04"
/>
<Instance Id="I05"
ProductCode="{960B4CBC-356F-430f-89B3-6F1E0FE66740}" ProductName="INST_I05"
/>
....
</InstanceTransforms>
In addition to application specific params, we pass MSINEWINSTANCE="1" and
"TRANSFORMS=":I01" (for example) - which should be enough for the MSI to
transform itself.
(Using the standard way (Chain/MsiPackage/MsiProperty) - and these
parameters do show up in the Burn log, so I don't think there's a problem
there)
but it has no effect, seems like Burn doesn't run the MSI at all... maybe
it detects that the whole Bundle is already installed and gives up? anyhow,
there's no indication of this in the log.
*Here is the Burn log that is generated:*

Are we doing something wrong?
Is there a way to operate a Multiple Instances through Burn at this stage?
Thanks in advance for any help...
Roman.
