I have discovered something but not a solution. I have 3 MSIs in my bundle, 2
work ok but the third doesn't. All are set to RemoveExistingProducts after
InstallValidate (although I have also tried InstallExecute) and also
AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes".
In the burn log for the first phase of the upgrade I see:
Detected related bundle: {2946612d-4a51-4875-810d-509af2b8b7f2}, type:
Upgrade, scope: PerMachine, version: 5.0.327.3582, operation: MajorUpgrade
Detected related package: {5436DA83-7844-4CDE-949B-C724500B9B9A}, scope:

Detected related package: {297D2E55-8DC6-4CDD-BCE8-7155798F347A}, scope:

This looks correct, in the second burn log I see:
Detected related bundle: {aeceda9c-2609-47a9-ad9e-54412da7ef60}, type:
Upgrade, scope: PerMachine, version: 5.0.327.3631, operation: None

Detected related package: {261755EE-3281-4CA2-9E9B-A1CD3139908B}, scope:

Detected related package: {EEC867E6-5FAE-4070-872D-7320656A90F5}, scope:
PerMachine, version: 5.0.327.3631, language: 0 operation: Downgrade
The package that runs as an uninstall is the one with the guid
{261755EE-3281-4CA2-9E9B-A1CD3139908B} and I believe this is because the
operation is detected as "None".
I thought maybe this was due to the AllowSameVersionUpgrades so I tried setting
that to "no" and changed the version number but that resulted in exactly the
same problem:
Detected related package: {7B2F5DAC-5ACF-4284-A608-19F12B7FE3D5}, scope:
PerMachine, version: 5.1.327.4377, language: 0 operation: Downgrade
Detected related package: {B385A716-0228-48A2-BF73-3CC109596894}, scope:
PerMachine, version: 5.1.327.4377, language: 0 operation: None
Detected related package: {B1D8C809-B25B-42C7-8A28-9AB50827F202}, scope:
PerMachine, version: 5.1.327.4377, language: 0 operation: Downgrade
Again the second package is set to "None".
I can't think what can be causing this, the package looks identical to the
others, it runs as an upgrade ok on its own it is just within burn that I see
an issue.
Any suggestions?

Ok thanks, so if my install is upgrading correctly the uninstall wouldn't
happen? I have RemoveExistingProducts scheduled after InstallValidate if that
matters.
That gives me something to investigate, I thought my install did upgrade
correctly but I'll investigate further.

The old bundle has to be uninstalled to remove it's registration and cache
information. This is basically the same thing the Windows Installer does when
you schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize. Burn today does not
allow you to schedule the "remove existing bundles", it's always where it is.
The real question is why isn't your MSI upgrade upgrading?
