Yep, ForcePerMachine="yes" did the trick. First I tried to copy the missing CustomActions from InstallExecuteSequence to AdminExecuteSequence. This worked too for me, but your solution is clearly the better one.
Many thanks for the fast response. Greetings 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)" > Blair > From: irmisc...@macnetix.de<mailto:irmisc...@macnetix.de> > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2013 15:11:37 +0000 > Subject: [WiX-users] [BURN] Install external MSI including a service > > Hey folks, > > I'm having a problem here.
