Looking inside of the MSI I would guess that when running the UI it sets
ALLUSERS to 1 for you, but when you run it in burn (without the MSI's own UI)
that isn't being set (since the MSI contains conditions/components that intend
it to be "dual-mode").
I would try adding the ForcePerMachine="yes" attribute to your MsiPackage
element and see if that fixes it for you.
e.g.
> <MsiPackage Id="PG_APACHE"
> Cache="no" Compressed="yes"
> Permanent="yes"
> Vital="yes" ForcePerMachine="yes"
> Name="$(var.APACHE_MSI)"
> SourceFile="$(var.APACHE_MSI)" >
