Let's take out the fact that I have multiple different applications(products) that I want to install and focus on one.
My problem is this: What I have: I have a product.wxs that I build as an MSI with a specific version and upgrade code. (MSI-A) I then have a bundle.wxs that I build that contains a chain that optionally installs a .Net Framework and installs MSI-A. The bundle has its own version and upgrade code. (BundleA) What is happening: I can run MSI-A stand-alone and install. The result is MSI-A Application in add/remove programs with the Version from the MSI-A installer product. I can run the Bundle-A installer with the exact same MSI-A referenced. The result is MSI-A Application in add/remove programs with the Version from the Bundle-A installer product. (Obviously running it this way does not allow the Bundle-A installer version of MSI-A Application to override or update the MSI-A stand-alone-installed application. Why does the MSI Application that is installed with the Bundle-A assuming the Version of the bundle and not the version in the actual msi? Assuming that I could have 3/4/5/etc. different MSI installers in a Bundle of this nature, it would be silly for all of them to assume the same version. At least that is my rationale. Thoughts?

The bundle installs as a separate product with it's own upgrade code, so in fact 2 upgrade codes are installed - that of the bundle and that of the product (actually for the bundle this isn't really an upgrade code since it isn't a Windows Installer package) If you want the 3 products to coexist you'll need to generate separate upgrade codes for the bundles just as you do for the MSI's. I'm not sure what is the problem you're experiencing- the fact that the bundle has a so-called upgrade code doesn't in itself present any problem. Can you share what is the actual problem?
