So after further investigation (i.e. running the debug build and adding some
trace statements), there are 2 separate issues here:
a) Watson doesn't re-install cleanly in 100% of cases
b) The setup bootstrapper is working like it probably should, i.e. in the
DetectMsi() function, the
1. You can run a debug build (have to build it yourself) and see some things
dumped to the debug console.
2. Also, it was pointed out to me that the name in the cached scenario is
actually the "ProductCodevVersion.msi" not the name of the MSI you originally
built. That might be causing you
Thanks Rob for the info; I tried using -mc in the parameters to setupbld.exe to
enable caching but to no avail. Actually I enabled global MSI logging with the
regkey HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\Logging, and it
doesn't seem as though the first MSI is being invoked at all (i
Yeah, in the current setup.exe in the WiX toolset, if you don't specify to
cache the MSI then the original path is going to be random. The future chainer
will have better behavior.

Hi Rob,
Copying and pasting from an e-mail from Carolyn Napier who had a look at our
logs relating to this issue:

Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file:
C:\EHS\alec\dev\CTEB.tmp
MSI (s) (F0:14) [14:19:26:471]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: Error

Ahh, dude, your MSI (it does look like it is running the already installed
version) is accessing that file for some reason and can't find it. Can't
decipher much more than that from the log file.

What do you mean by the install "crashes with an error message"? Installations
shouldn't crash. They may error out but crashing is a really scary thing.
The best thing is to get the logging registry key set to get a log file for the
A.msi.
