I've removed the InstallCondition for the patch & it's now working as intended. Thanks for the input on this however I would point out the documentation mentions nothing about "patch applicability" & the InstallCondition description says "A condition to evaluate before installing the package. The package will only be installed if the condition evaluates to true." which it's not unreasonable to assume the converse (i.e. if InstallCondition evaluates to false, the package is not installed) -> http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_msppackage.htm
Anyone have any input on the previous questions I posted in this thread? Why is DisplayInternalUI="yes" being ignored for MspPackage. Also InstallSize seems to be ignored in MspPackage & ExePackage (tried setting it to 0 and 1, same results with burn size entry in ARP showing the total of all packages in the chain which is vastly inflated). My original question is still unanswered. Even without an InstallCondition attribute for the MsiPackage it will still attempt a minor upgrade which is contrary to the behaviour it exhibits when the MSI is manually run.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn - MSIPackage InstallCondition evaluates to false, attempts minor upgrade Sounds like we should scan patches for those that disallow removal and mark them permanent. The InstallCondition behavior is expected. If the InstallCondition is false that means "this Package should not be Installed" (aka: should not exist on the box).
