[wix-users] Bootstrap application not detecting related package features on upgrade

[Rob Mensching]

Correct. Burn does not detect features for MSIs that the bundle does not contain.

As Nir points out, your BA can use the MSI APIs to detect features for any MSIs already on the machine.

Yes, the EnableFeatureSelection attribute is set to yes, which enabled the detection of MSI features for the “current” MSI in the bundle. It does not detect already installed MSI features from previous bundle.

Did you set @EnableFeatureSelection="yes" in the MsiPackage element?
