When installing an MSI application all the expected dialogs and options may not be shown. This results with the application not being installed as required.
For example the DesktopReceiverFull.msi application will not present the USB support or passthrough authentication options.
This is due to a partially installed MSI triggering an upgrade process.
From the MSI install log it can be seen that the product {2624B680-02BC-4CBC-839C-DA20DF6EF6EC} is detected:
