On wix_users:

I posted that, we were thinking of changing of removing the MSINEWINSTANCE=1
from the property list on Uninstall in Wix Burn code.

We want to know : What steps should we follow in writing a Custom BA to
address this issue with InstanceTransforms.    After a week of looking at
Transforms, Embedded transforms etc... we really do need to use Instance
Transforms.   They need to be installable, repairable, patchable and
uninstallable.


The actual post said this:
We are thinking about modifying the MsiEngineComcatProperties() to allow
optional handling of MSINEWINSTANCE=1 on Uninstall.   Optional meaning - on
uninstall we would exclude this from the parameters so that msiexec.exe will
unistall the transform. 

We are using a Multi-Transform msi and need to use the MSINEWINSTANCE=1 on
Install.  However using WIX, we have not found any means to exclude the
msiProperty MSINEWINSTANCE=1 from the Chain on uninstall.   

 If the parameter MSINEWINSTANCE=1 is defined, msiexec.exe /x will fail. 




Rob stated:

Short answer: this is something a custom BA could handle. Supporting 
instance transforms is a much bigger problem than just setting 
MSINEWINSTANCE. If you'd like to discuss how to add support for multiple 
instances to Burn, let's continue on wix-devs. 


Any suggestions would be appreciated.
