Yes, the log indicates that it is cached.  Should it be? Do I need to
file a bug about files remaining cached when the install errors?

To further expand on the topic of the Burn application being installed
and cached files.  I am confused about the following scenario.  Without
Burn, I would create a new MSI with a new product code and release that
to my customers.  That would run and take care of upgrading to the new
version of the product.  How does that work with Burn and cached files?
Since (at least in the erring case) Burn does not seem to realize that
my embedded (attached container) file is new, it runs the old one.
Currently I have the InstallCondition for the .MSI set to "1" to always
force it to run regardless of whether Burn thinks it is installed or
not.

I guess another way to ask the question is, "what would make Burn
realize that a file, msi, exe etc - not just an embedded one - is
actually different from the one that is cached"?

Understood, but again, intuitively. attached containers should not be
cached as a default.
Since my file was cached and I did not specify, I assume the default for
Cache is Yes.
