I posted this yesterday on StackOverflow, but haven't got any bites yet, and I'm on a tight deadline for a new release. I'm hoping someone can provide a quick workaround for this issue:
I have a bundle installer (standard BA) created using burn that installs .NET as a first step: <Chain> <!-- Applications depend on .NET 4.0 Client Profile --> <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40ClientWeb"/> <MsiPackage SourceFile="$(var.Installer1)" Visible="yes" /> <MsiPackage SourceFile="$(var.Installer2)" Visible="yes" /> <MsiPackage SourceFile="$(var.Installer3)" Visible="yes" /> ... When a user goes to repair the bundle in Add/Remove Programs, the repair process also repairs the.NET framework, which is very time consuming and sometimes requires a restart of the PC. Issues with our installations are very unlikely to be with the .NET framework itself, so I would like to change this behavior. I can't find the actual definition of NetFx40ClientWeb PackageGroup, but I assume it is marked as permanent="true" because it isn't uninstalled with the rest of the bundle. So why is it repaired with it? Is there another way to install .NET as a prerequisite, but not have it repaired with the bundle?
