Rob, thanks so much for yor quick response! I was able to get selective uninstall to work.
However, I discovered another issue with Burn feature selection in general (both install and uninstall case). I noticed that unless it's the first time installing the product or a complete uninstall, Burn doesn't invoke any action on the MSI if the execute action on the last featue in the MSI is "none". I tried a few permutations of feature selection and here are the bundle log messages that I got when trying to install an MSI that has 3 features, 1. Feature3 has already been installed, requesting Feature1 to be installed.

But, I wanted to see if this is an actual bug in Burn or something that I am missing.
