I have checked the logs and don't really understand why it is doing what it is doing: first it runs the new install, and then it uninstalls the cached version.
Why is this second step required? Shouldn't running the install do the remove of the existing package? If I was doing this without burn I would simply run the new install, is burn suppressing the remove existing products? The reason for needing to know this is that that I am having problems upgrading services and I believe it is related to this process. The service is not being stopped and/or removed correctly (it ends up in a disabled state). In addition part of my upgrade is to stop running applications and then restart when the install is complete, this works fine if I run the msi manually but the second uninstall when using burn is stopping the application again. Any help with understanding why burn works like this would be greatly appreciated.
