MsiPackage doesn't have a DetectCondition. Burn knows how to correctly detect MSI packages.

Here is what I want to accomplish: I want to install my application and it's prerequisites in both a 32-bit and 64-bit version. I have two msi files for my own product (myprod32.msi and myprod64.msi), and two msi files for a 3rd party product (other32.msi and other64.msi). I want to install the appropriate versions based on the bit-ness of the OS, except in the case of Windows Vista where I always want to install the 32-bit versions. I never want to uninstall the 3rd party product (the 32-bit version of that product may be installed on a Windows 7 64-bit machine, I want to leave it alone and install the 64-bit version as well). Do I do everything in the DetectCondition attribute of MsiPackage and fake-out burn to get the behavior I want? For example (assumes version of 3rd party product I want is 2.0): <MsiPackage Id="Other32" . DetectCondition="(OtherVersion=2.0) OR (VersionNT64 AND VersionNT64 <> v6.0)" /> <MsiPackage Id="Other64" . DetectCondition="(OtherVersion=2.0) OR (NOT VersionNT64) OR (VersionNT64 = v6.0)" /> Will Burn do anything I don't want it to do here since I'm essentially lying about whether or not the prerequisite is already installed or not?
