The InstallValidate action does appear twice in the log; however the
first time is the new product's install and the second is the old
product's uninstall (since I scheduled RemoveExistingProducts after
InstallValidate)... could this be part of the problem?
No, that's the right spot given an all-new installer.
As for the new product's InstallValidate logging, I see "Installed:
Absent; Request: Local; Action: Local" for each Feature and
Component defined in the new installer. This is what's expected, correct?
Yes. So the next step is to look at the actual installation op-codes.
Search the log for InstallFinalize to see where MSI starts running the
install script. The old product uninstall should have op-codes like
ComponentUnregister and FileRemove. Then you'll see ComponentRegister
and FileCopy for the install -- or you should. Each FileCopy op-code
writes something like:
File: C:\Path\File.ext; To be installed; Won't patch; No
existing file
