Do you have more than one ServiceContol elements in your MSI? I found in the past that Windows Installer (not WiX) only supports one (or it might have been one per service id), this may have been fixed but is worth checking (try writing a simple MSI that just stops services and check they are st

Also: Two entries in Add/Remove means the upgrade failed to upgrade. You have side by side (or on top of each other) products running, so since the upgrade did not in fact happen I'd say that then all bets are off regarding proper behavior of in-use files. Check the log for FindRelatedProducts to

None of the services are inter-dependent (one of the features of our system), and here's what the ServiceElements look like: So wait was set to yes for all of them. And looking in the logs that each of the services generate, they do all shut down in a timely fashion. Any other thoughts? Alai

It's vital=no that you need in the long run. That should allow you to skip the file with an ignore option in the dialog if it's missing. Upgrades with RemoveExistingProducts at the end will apply file update rules, so what may be happening is the upgrade is trying to decide whether to replace the

Yes, provide a fixed MSI with the same version info. The /fv tells windows installer to re-cache the MSI. I believe it also does a repair at that time which is just another install. From there, you should be able to remove the product as you have fixed the broken CA. -Original Message-
