There are a number of things that don't seem right here: 1. It's usual to get the framework installed from a boostrapper, not from the MSI file. This is because it's MSI-based and therefore you can break the "can't run two simultaneous MSI installs" rule. Also, at least one version of the framework included an MSI engine update. That may be the one you're installing, and it's possible that future frameworks might do it again, and you get into a pseudo-deadlock because you can't update the MSI engine from inside your already-running MSI.
2. The problems you're having are related to: a) Conditions. You want a custom action to run only on install, then you need it conditioned that way. b) Repeating myself somewhat, the 2753 error is because you've got a custom action type that says "run this specific executable that I'm installing". MSI doesn't care if it's already on the system because you didn't say "run this executable on the system", you said "run this executable I'm installing". If it doesn't get installed then you get error 2753. If you want a custom action to run some other way, then it can be run from the Binary table instead of "as a program I'm installing".

Well now if I change my InstallExecuteSequence code to look like this: <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="DotNetInstall" After="InstallFinalize"> Installed </Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> Typical works right, as expected, because it will only try and install features that were actually Installed, and if I set feature level to 4, those features won't be installed. However, on the Remove, I get the 2753 error (trying to remove something that wasn't installed maybe?). Complete doesn't work as expected, it does what typical does, except without the 2753 error for removing.
