When I say 2.2 should be installed, ideally I'd be able to run the 2.2 MSI for 
major upgrades & clean installs or the 2.2 MSP should be run for 2.0 or later. 
I could do this using simple conditions with dotnetinstaller as the MSI's & 
MSP's support these scenarios when manually run, I just want to not rely on the 
user to download & run the correct file for their specific scenario.
Rob M. advised that to do the above with Burn I would have to schedule the v2.0 
MSI for install & Slipstream the 2.2 MSP since Burn assumes a false 
InstallConditon means "uninstall" rather than "don't install".

Running that command on a clean install produces the same issue as Burn, it 
hangs at the WelcomeDlg & clicking Next does nothing. Log files ->

http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/sc_clean.log
Running that command when 1.4 is installed does the same as when nothing is 
installed. Log files ->

http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/sc_upgrade.log

Thanks for looking into this Bob.

When you say "v2.2 should be installed," you mean, v2.0 should be 
installed and then patched to v2.2, right?

The second case (fresh v2.0 plus slipstreamed patch) appears to be hung 
inside MSI (or at least there's nothing in the MSI log to indicate 
progress).

On the third case (major upgrade plus patch), I suspect it's failing 
because MSI doesn't support it. The logs look like MSI is trying to 
apply the patch to the v1.4 installed product instead of slipstreamed to 
the v2.0 product. It's not clear that MSI supports applying a major 
upgrade with a slipstreamed patch view applied.

Please try the following on a machine with and without v1.4 installed 
and upload the logs.

msiexec /l*vx! /i VESharedContent.msi ALLUSERS="1" MSIFASTINSTALL="7" 
PATCH="VESharedContent.msp"

That's equivalent to what Burn is doing in both cases.
