In what way?? I haven't read the MSI SDK docs - but I did read Phil Wilson's "Definitive Guide to Windows Installer" - Chapter 6, on Upgrades. Quite honestly, still sounds pretty Greek to me - I don't like MSI, I think it's overly complicated, and way too much overkill for 90% of all installs. But I have this misbehaving MSI and my boss wants a solution ASAP :-( so I'm trying to struggle through learning as much as I absolutely need to understand what's happening, and trying to figure out the easiest ways to achieve what I need to achieve. Any further hints would be most welcome! My solution now is to store the install location into the registry and reading it from there again when installing a new version (using a major upgrade) since that information seems to "survive" the major upgrade. Seems and feels a bit like a kludge - but it works ok for now.
