Sounds like an ALLUSERS problem. Basically the first install was either
per-user or per-machine and the second one was the other.
FindReleated/RemoveExisting only processes the same type so you ended up with
two installed products. One registered for AllUsers and one registered for the

I'm working on doing a major upgrade for a Wix install. Both the original and

Within your WiX code, you can use preprocessor conditions based on the

This variable comes from the "Define 'Debug' preprocessor variable" checkbox,
which is checked by default for the Debug configuration of a VS WiX project.

I can agree with that. If you make the assumption that the C++ code is

This is scary. Is it possible that IIS changed the access to their API to

bad.
