The easiest way out is to move the RemoveExistingProducts action to be before InstallInitialize. However, there are situations where that doesn't seem to work, and it carries (sometimes significant) upgrade costs. Any better solution would involve a good in-depth analysis which is best done one-on

How are you writing this registry entry? There's nothing explicit in the MSI file's registry table that says something is a dword or a string - it's in the value. If you write #2 to the registry Windows Installer will create it as a dword. If you prefix it with #x it will create it as binary. So
