Based on what I am seeing , the behavior of the burn .exe uninstalling the 
chained .msi is not matching the behavior if I install/uninstall the .msi 
directly.

If I install the msi directly, and then uninstall the msi from ARP, the UILevel 
is "3" during the uninstall of the .msi.  I verify this by checking the value 
of the UILevel property with a custom action.

If I install the burn .exe that chains this same .msi, and then uninstall the 
burn .exe from ARP, when the uninstall of the burn.exe uninstalls the chained 
msi, the value of the UILevel is "2" in this same custom action.  

So I am seeing a difference in the UILevel of the msi if it is uninstalled via 
the burn .exe, versus if the .msi is installed and then uninstalled from ARP 
without using the burn .exe.

No, this matches the behavior of uninstalling MSI files from ARP.
