Bill, I'm trying to use the functions that you provided, and I'm just curious as to where the ExitOnFailure logs are saved? I've placed my own logs around the function, and I know it's failing somewhere in there. Thanks. On 1/3/2012 4:28 PM, Bill Tutt wrote: > On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 5:26 PM,

I have a Wix project that I have set to allow major upgrades. I'm using WixUI_Advanced to allow a choice between per-user and per-machine installs. When I install and upgrade per-user everything works as expected, the installer recognizes an upgrade and there is only one entry in Programs and Feat
