HI Thanks for your input, i think im gettin there, but still not quite, so here is what i have so far
The Search: <Property Id="OLD"> <RegistrySearch Id="OldOpti" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Optisoft\Settings" Name="SetupType" /> </Property> And the Code you suggested (this is under the InstallUISequence) <Show Dialog="OldInstall" Sequence="1">OLD</Show> This is all i have in regarding this, and its not doing anything when i run the installer. when i try and compile my MSI i get an error stateing that i need to specify a befre or after or sequence??? so i put the "sequence="1" in to get it compile while testing other things Is there anything im missing??
