Hi Bob,
I have discovered a few hours ago that SetInstallLevel to 1 in an
upgrade will actually refresh the Features and install only the features
that I want. Your suggestion would help if the setup type had 3 options:
Typical, Full, Custom. This setup has more levels and tuning
INSTALLLEVEL will not help.
From this point of view it would help if INSTALLLEVEL would install the
features that are the exact level only and not those that are below (I
guess this is a feature request for Windows Installer team, which is not
that important - the feature not the team!).
I think I will create a small upgrade sample and fill it in as a bug.
Best regards,
Calin
