Hello All,
We have a product for which versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 have been
released. For each of these versions, the product code was auto-generated to
enable automatic removal of previous version before installation of new MSI.
Now, we have released version 1.0.3 and I am trying to cr

Thanks,
I am using the same MSI for install/un-install/re-install.
The Install and Un-install is working fine, but re-install is showing the
2908 error.
Users can unistall and reinstall the same MSI right...?

I've implemented Blair's 2nd suggestion, and the services do seem to get
installed, but I don't think they're being installed correctly, because the
services then cannot start and the installer fails.

I don't think so, assuming you are having a unique EXE per service. I think
what Blair was saying is the issue of having the same exe name (single
component) in multiple services. I think what you need is a component per file,
with the exe of each of the services (unique copy for each) and thei
As long as A is the same version as what is installed, Burn won't reinstall it.
If the bundle's A is newer (higher version) then by default it will upgrade
it. If you wanted to override this behavior, you could write your own BA to do
so.

Currently I have a Setup with two MSI's:
MSI A is a pre-req of MS B. Ideally, I would like to install A only if A
hasn't been installed. Is this possible?

I agree that one file per component is best, but would doing so conflict with
Blair's 2nd solution for registering my services such that the uninstaller can
wait for the StopServices step to release the other files in use before
deciding that a restart is required?

No, a component can only have one key path, be it a file, directory, or
registry entry. Any time the key file changes, the component will be serviced.
If you have the exe being the key file and it never changes, then your jar
files will never be updated unless you are doing a major upgrade wit

Oh, I see, so if we make a Component contain multiple files, any time any one
of those files are changed, the installer will uninstall and reinstall the
entire component, and all the files therein (assuming I understand correctly).
This is fine for our purposes, and we are already only doing Maj
One file per component is the most flexible for maintenance, but depending on
your patching/upgrade plan it may not be needed. If the key file to the
component is a 3rd party exe (and all of your jars were within this component),
then you would have to have RemoveExistingProducts scheduled early
You're quite right; after installing our software, there is a separate jsl.exe
process for each of our services. One disturbing thing I've noticed is that if
I then reboot the computer after installing our software, then open the Task

That's not going to solve the problem. REINSTALL=ALL means patch all
features, and I'll also point out that you may already be in trouble because
of repair. With your existing unpatched product installed, what happens if
you do a repair from add/remove programs or by right-clicking the MSI you
used
You can't "reinstall" an MSI. You need to do an update of some kind, like a
patch, major upgrade, minor update etc. The MSI should not have got this far
if you really just tried to reinstall the same MSI - it would gone into
maintenance repair mode or told you the product was already installed, so
That might be acceptable if the default is to patch just one feature. How does
someone build a patch for just one feature?

If you mean prerequisite, prerequisites should be installed by a
bootstrapper before the MSI part of the setup starts. That's what things
like Burn are for.
Otherwise, a cancel is a cancel. The entire MSI stops and rolls back. If you
want that Prerequest installed all the time, install it before
I assume that the type has to match the field type in the table into which
you are substituting the value, in this case the Target Column in the
CustomAction table which is of type formatted which is text.

Hi all,
We have a custom action which processes rows in a custom table (the details
of this don't matter, but suffice to say some code is run for each record).

A service account that is not a local administrator seems to fail to access the
MSI service (which is also required to run validation). Thus, the problem may
not be misconfigured script engines but instead system security.
The workaround is to suppress validation in builds running non-elevated
Yes, because it is all one chain. RollbackBoundaries (as Jacob mentions) were
created to make that kind of distinction (separate the chain into parts to
leave parts behind if the entire chain fails).
