Our experience with MSI upgrades on removable media is that both: 1. The media volume label must be the same as the original media. 2. The directory where the package lives must be the same as the original. (Although setting "MEDIAPACKAGEPATH" may work.) MSI records this information when you first install the package into the registry locations noted here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299803/en-us In MSI 3.0 they finally added the "MsiSourceList...()" API functions that allow you to access this stuff. (Of course, no good if you still need to support NT4 :( ) Hope this helps. Regards, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
