What should I look for in the log file? From what I pasted above, I do see
that my rollback CA is getting called, so that would mean my patch is in
effect. Is there any way to test a rollback CA execution? Like maybe instead
of calling a binary file or DLL file, to just pop up a box?

Well the MsgBox works for the first rollback action that occurs in the new
msi. For the old msi, the message box doesnt show AND I also log driver info
to a file and that file wasn't updated either, meaning the binary action
isn't really happening even though the MSI log says it did. Any thoughts?

The rollback CA appears in #3 (during the rollback execution of the script)
since I see the following in the log file:
Rollback: RollbackDriverManagerReinstall
MSI (s) (F0:18) [17:03:27:438]: Executing op:

So I added a rollback action to the old msi to reinstall my drivers right
before "RemoveFiles". When I launched the new msi to upgrade, the rollback
action never executed but the log file tells me it did. I am sort of
confused by MSI log files. There are so many different calls to my rollback

Trust me, the *LAST* thing you want to be doing in your software
installations, upgrades and rollback handling is "some kind of hack".
In this particu
Yeah I saw that, but was hoping there was some kind of hack. I read somewhere
that it is possible to access the old msi's actions in the new msi, but
maybe that was not true.
Thanks though Richard for the help.

See the documentation on RemoveExistingProducts. If yo
But from the new msi you do have access to the REP action which should call
the old msi's uninstaller. Why can't I put a rollback CA right before this?
I know I can if REP is after InstallFinalize, but then the remove/install
order gets screwed up. If REP happens in the beginning, why can't I plac

Nope. All you have access to in the new MSI is the new version.
Everything that happens in the old version is controlled by the old

I have a simple related question. I am trying to test the execution of my
rollback custom action. I had thought that returning ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE
from a type 1 CA with return="Check" would do the trick. What I see though

only way I got this working was to put REP after InstallFinalize, which
kinda ruins the order of everything.

Why not? You can patch the old MSI so that when the uninstall rolls
back, it reinstalls the driver. This will be done a
I moved REP to After InstallFinalize and now it seems I can execute my
rollback action before Remove Files. However I need the REP to be After
InstallInitialize . Is there any way to make the rollback action work before
RemoveFiles while keeping REP After InstallInitialize?

Hello,
I am trying to perform a rollback custom action when an upgrade install
fails. However, I require the original files on the system (before the
installer updates them) to execute this rollback custom action. I put my
