Unless you're pushing out .NET 4.0 Framework betas, you can't install any earlier .NET Framework on Windows 7, they're already embedded into it. I suggest looking at what your bootstrapper is trying to do when it's launching your MSI as it sounds like you're attempting to do something impossible first which means anything could be happening in subsequent steps.
Does your MSI run normally when you run it using msiexec /I from a run or command prompt on Windows 7?

This does not happen in any other OS. Any ideas as to why this behavior? Is this something I can fix from the bootstrapper/ MSI code?
