Hi all,
When I try to build a major upgrade patch with the product code and product
version changed as well as a component been removed from a feature in the
upgraded image, I get the error "error PYRO0305" indicating that removing
component 'x' from feature 'y' is not supported. Why am I get
This idea involves setting it to zero ONLY during major upgrades, never at
any other time. Use the "UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE" syntax for that.

Oh, actually that won't work either. I'm trying to keep the folder around:
It already exists. Changing the level to zero prevents it from getting
installed - it doesn't prevent the original folder from getting deleted,
right?
Now I'm really confused.

Hi Blair, and thanks for the response.
What you describe is an advanced functionality that I'm currently incapable
of implementing. I just don't know enough about this stuff to even try that
right now ...
Is there an example of the latter suggestion that you might be able to
provide? (i.e. "

You must have RemoveExistingProducts sequenced "early". If it's sequenced late
the file update rules are used, which means that only higher versioned files
are installed, and data files modified after being installed (like your config

Both will do it, but if Orca is already installed it is usually faster. Dark
will usually only show the derivation from the "standard" sequence, which
happens to check launch conditions before running AppSearch (just the
opposite of what you want).

You can mark the component as being 'Permanent' or, if the user will be

Will decompiling the msi with dark give me the sequence tables, or is orca the

Verify the order between the AppSearch and the LaunchConditions actions in
