1 - Slipstreaming MSP's doesn't work
Code:
<Chain>
[snip]
<MsiPackage Id="SharedContentFull"
SourceFile="..\..\..\..\..\TEMP\VESharedContent.msi"

Compressed="no"

DownloadUrl="[removed]VESharedContent.msp"
InstallSize="1"
PerMachine="yes"
Permanent="yes"
Vital="yes"
Slipstream="yes" />
[snip]
</Chain>
What's meant to happen:
On a machine which has an existing v2.0 or later MSI installation, the MSP
should be applied to update to v2.2
On a machine which has nothing installed, v2.2 should be installed
On a machine which has an existing installation older than v2.0 a Major Upgrade
should be applied to update to v2.2
The above scenarios all work when manually executing the relevant MSI or MSP &
show the expected errors when attempted outside of those conditions.
What actually happens:
On a machine which has an existing MSI installation, the MSP applies
successfully as expected.
On a machine with nothing installed it hangs at the following ->

the Next button does nothing, it will sit here for hours).
On a machine which has an existing installation older than v2.0 it fails. Burn

The MSI in the above code is the v2.0 MSI not the v2.2 as advised by Rob M ->

above using the MSI and/or MSP where applicable outside of Burn works as
expected in all scenarios.
2 - Burn package uninstall doesn't work.
Scenario 1 AKA "The Rock"

</Chain>
</Bundle>
What's meant to happen:
Programs & Features (Add/Remove Programs) should have a single entry which
should uninstall the 3 listed packages in order.
What actually happens:
http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/uninstall_fail.png
Obviously "Install" isn't what should be happening here. Using the MSI directly
(circumventing Burn) will bring up the Uninstall process as expected.
Scenario 2 AKA The Hard Place.
To work around scenario 1, I add DisableModify DisableRemove to the Bundle
Element & add Permanent & Visible attributes to the MsiPackages.

</Bundle>
What's meant to happen:
Each package should have its own entry in Programs & Features. Bundle shouldn't
be visible.
What actually happens:
Each package has its own entry in Programs & Features. Bundle isn't visible.
However the problem occurs when a user uninstalls & then attempts to reinstall.
The Bundle isn't visible but it is registering itself invisibly. When you
uninstall the MSI's manually & then attempt to reinstall using the Burn bundle
you get the following ->
http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/double_uninstall.png which means
you have to run the Burn bundle twice, first to "uninstall" itself then the
second time allows you to install the packages again which isn't exactly
intuitive.
If there is some way to suppress the Burn bundle registering itself this would
be an acceptable workaround to the Scenario 1 issue for now.
3 - .NET 4.0 PackageGroup from WixNetfxExtension doesn't work
Code:
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40ClientRedist"/>
</Chain>
What's meant to happen:
.NET 4.0 client profile should download from Microsoft.com & install

<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40ClientWeb"/> fails similarly just quicker since it
has much less to download before it tries to run.
Hence I've been using my own RegistrySearch & ExeCommand to install the .NET
4.0 client profile as a workaround:
<util:RegistrySearch Id="NET4.0Search"
Variable="NET4Installed"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework
Setup\NDP\v4\Client\"
Value="Install"
Result="value" />
<ExePackage Id="NET4.0"
SourceFile="..\..\..\install\dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe"
Compressed="no"
DownloadUrl="http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/6/2/562A10F9-C9F4-4313-A044-9C94E0A8FAC8/dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe";
InstallSize="1"
PerMachine="yes"
Permanent="yes"
Vital="yes"
DetectCondition="NET4Installed = 1" />
Which works as expected. The only issue with that is using the /passive switch
on the Burn bundle still shows the .NET 4.0 installer UI because there's no way
to specify passive or silent only commands.
I've raised bug 3528801 on SourceForge regarding passive installs for
ExeCommand elements ->
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3528801&group_id=105970&atid=642714
Any help with any of the above issues will be most appreciated. If any of these
should be raised as bugs let me know & I'll do the honours.
