Haven't heard many good things about the multi-package transaction support
from MSI. We don't use it in Burn because of bugs reported. You might ask
the Windows Installer team if this is another known issue.

Hello Guys,
We have a very intermittent bug in the installer that we are developing.
We have a bootstrapper that uses WiX 3.5 and has the following code:
/var transactionSession = new Transaction(ANTON,
TransactionAttributes.None);
foreach (var msiPackage in msiPackageList)
{
Installer.InstallProduct(msiPackage, string.Empty);
}
transactionSession.Commit();
transactionSession.Close();/
This simply creates a transaction session, installs several msis from the
list, and then commits the transaction. However in some cases, msi.dll
crashes during the transaction Commit() call.
*Exception message in transaction.Commit:*
/The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the
Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support
personnel
for assistance./
*Event logs:*

All the MSIs are created from InstallShield basic msi project. Any ideas
what might be causing this?
Your help is appreciated guys :)
Cheers,
Anton
