This is "by design". Is this a MSI you authored, or some 3rd party MSI that you fear others may have a newer version installed which is incompatible with your bundle? (Note, if the MSI had been installed by a newer version of your bundle, the older bundle should block with an error like what you are asking.)

The problem is that the install does not fail if a higher version of the msi's are already installed on the machine. --- <?xml version="1.0"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Bundle UpgradeCode="{E72CD748-EF14-488F-8474-22201C7DE8BC}" Name="MyInstall" Version="4.4.18927.0" Manufacturer="Acme"> <util:RegistrySearchRef Id='Netfx35Version'/> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense"/> <WixVariable Id="WixStdbaLogo" Value="About.png"/> <WixVariable Id="WixStdbaLicenseRtf" Value="Acknowledgements.rtf" /> <WixVariable Id="WixStdbaThemeXml" Value="RtfTheme.xml"/> <WixVariable Id="WixStdbaThemeWxl" Value="RtfTheme.wxl"/> <Chain> <MsiPackage SourceFile="Apple v1.msi" DisplayName="Apple" Visible="yes" Permanent="no" Vital="yes"/> <MsiPackage SourceFile="Banana v1.msi" DisplayName="Banana" Visible="yes" Permanent="no" Vital="yes"/> <MsiPackage SourceFile="Car v1.msi" DisplayName="Car" Visible="yes" Permanent="no" Vital="yes"/> <MsiPackage SourceFile="Feather v1.msi" DisplayName="Feather" Visible="yes" Permanent="no" Vital="yes"/> </Chain> </Bundle> <Fragment> <util:RegistrySearch Id="Netfx35Version" Variable="Netfx35Version" Result="exists" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Net Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5" Value="Version"/> <bal:Condition Message="The .Net Framework 3.5 is required to run this software.

However the above installation does not fail if "Apple v2" is already installed. Is there a way to show a warning message and/or fail the installation?
