A couple or three notes on causes: 1. A ResolveSource action with an incorrect condition can cause this, something that may be worth checking. 2. Any kind of update requires Windows to see if an incoming versioned file has a higher version than the one on the system. Some people do out-of-band

You won't be able to use the MSMs. Honestly, you might be best of statically linking to the CRT in that scenario. I don't recall if VS2005 CRT allowed you to co-locate the files with your installation. That might be an option as well... depending on the license terms. On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 6:12

This is exactly why Burn caches MSIs for you on the users machine. One way to fix it would be to get the original MSI and run msiexec /fv . I believe that would get the original MSI cached again with the new source location then you can move forward with the upgrade. On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 5:30 AM
