[wix-users] Reinstalling missing packages (and only them) among all chained packages in a bundle.

The Modify plan action means tells Burn engine that the BA will explicitly change the request states of packages: OnPlanPackageBegin

Subject: [wix-users] Reinstalling missing packages (and only them) among all chained packages in a bundle.

Good morning,

I'm starting with WiX Toolset, I'm using version 3.11.

I created a pre-requisite bundle, which works as expected in installation, repair and removal.
However, if one of the chained components of the bundle is uninstalled, for some reason, while the bundle is still installed, I did not find the way to re-install only that component.

Below, extract from the log file:
I used the options: /quiet /install

xxx: Plan begin, 2 packages, action: Modify
xxx: Planned package: MSI_SQLCLRTypes_x64, state: Present, default requested: Present, ba requested: Present, execute: None, rollback: None, cache: No, uncache: No, dependency: Register
xxx: Planned package: MSI_SQLSMO_x64, state: Absent, default requested: Absent, ba requested: Absent, execute: None, rollback: None, cache: No, uncache: Yes, dependency: None
xxx: Plan complete, result: 0x0

I don't understand why "default requested" is set to "Absent" for SQLSMO.
This package state is "Absent" and the package is flagged "Vital".

Is this behavior normal?
If yes, is there a solution to reinstall missing packages (and only them) among all chained packages in a bundle.

Thank you for your help.
