If you want to do patching, do a minor upgrade (but only when patching). If you don't, don't (ever). That's my take. It's served me and my clients well for several years now. > From: keith.doug...@statcan.gc.ca > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 08:58:02 -0500 > Sub

From your narrative I would expect that the registry changes from the installation were still in an unflushed disk cache that was not ever written to disk due to the BSOD. Thus, Windows Installer thought that everything was done, but NTFS hadn’t yet finished its part. Blair From: John
