[wix-users] .NET redist not installing

[Blair Murri]

You show one authoring (and that is only a subset), but two (trimmed) logs. What is different? Runtime environment? Some other authoring difference? BootstrapperApplicationRef target? There's not enough info here to go on.

Maybe to help simplify the question even more: what could cause this...?

“Planned package: Netfx4Full, state: Absent, default requested: Present, ba requested: None…”

None of my custom BA code could execute yet, but something in the engine decided that .NET should not be installed.
