[wix-users] BurnBootStrapper is not detecting already installed chain item

[Srinivas]

I have attached a sample wxs file

I have created an exe of test 1.0.0 using the below commands

candle -ext WixUIExtension -arch x64 test.wxs
light -ext WixUIExtension test.wixobj

Installed 1.0.0, created another TestProdcut msi 1.0.1 and installed on the
top of the existing. TestProduct was upgraded successfully. ControlPanel
shows 1.0.1 which is good

Created another TestProduct MSI 1.0.2 and bundled with Burn as a chain
item. Created a bundle with the below commands, bundle was created which
has TestProduct 1.0.2.

candle -arch x64 -ext WixBalExtension Burn.wxs
light -ext WixBalExtension Burn.wixobj

Now when i install the bundle, it is not detecting the previous 1.0.1
version MSI of TestProduct. It is installing 1.0.2 as a new software. It
fails to detect 1.0.1

All i wanted to know whether Burn will work in Mixed Approach or not. Mixed
Approach means, Installing msi independently and upgrading msi works. If we
use Burn to install on the top of it. it is not detecting the software
which was installed independently and viceversa. If i install Burn First
and then install TestProduct MSI individually. TestProduct MSI is not
detecting the software. which was already installed by Burn

I have attached the files for reference. Please let me know if there are
any issues

We have requirement to install all the MSIs(4)  as a Bundle and upgrade
independently. Similarly they can install independently all 4 MSI and
upgrade using Burn Bundle.

*Thanks*
