No. It's the fact that transforms change the package's identity. Essentially, Burn needs to be taught how to figure out all the possible permutations the transforms can provide. You could *maybe* do it manually by exploding out the matrix of Packages x Transforms. Not sure. It's not easy. ___

The Chain is evaluated from top to bottom when doing an 'Install', and in reverse order (from bottom to top) when doing an uninstall. Typically I just let Burn manage these details. Yes you can create a custom BA (or with WixStdBA use a BAFunctions.dll) and override the various Plan (and other ev

Sorry misunderstanding. I was not sure whether Rob was talking about the embed MST in MSI approach or the embed MST in Bundle.exe approach.
