It would also be useful to know if the install works when there is nothing to upgrade.

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 -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
