Also, make sure that you marked the .exe as the keypath for the servicecontrol.
I've noticed this error too because the service install grabbed the first file
in the component (if you don't have one component per file) and it wasn't the
.exe.

Hi,
I think we're back to the logs again - do the upgrade and check the
logs to see whether PATCHFOUND is set.

Anyone know if XP Embedded can handle an msi file? Does XP embedded ship
with Windows Installer or do you have to download the redistributable?

Hi Peter,
I still have the problem about custom action. "MyCA" is always running during
the Upgrade. I tried the both:
not Installed
and
not Installed AND NOT
UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE
How can I make "MyCA" only be called for the first installation?

That looks correct. It will run when you are removing the product from the
machine entirely but it wont run when you are removing the old product in order
to upgrade it.

Thank you for your reply.
I only want the CA to run for the first time installation. I will try to change
the condition to "not Installed" and try again.
And I have another custon action, which should be called only in
uninstallation. Is it correct to do it as:
REMOVE="ALL" AND NOT
UPGRADING
Sorry, I confused you. I mean the Upgrade works now. It will not install a new

Hmm - does it give an error message?

NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE will be true during any run of the installer when you
are not performing an upgrade. This includes remove, repair (and patch) and
first time installation. Is that what you want ? If you only want to run during
first-time installation then use:

Hi John,
Thank you for your help. There is some progess in my Upgrade. It will not
install a new software after I change the OnlyDetect.
I have another question that there is one Custom Action, which should be called
only in the first install. Is it correct if I set it as:
NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCT
Tallow should do the job. Try something like:
tallow file -out results.wxs
This should generate the component with all the necessary parts.

Well check that you have the upgrade code correct, but my guess it
would have something to do with @OnlyDetect=yes being set. From the
v2.x documentation:

applications but do not uninstall.
