Further digging suggests that it could be the order of events causing my problem, here's some output from filemon, filtered to only include msiexec process: 4:29:32 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config PATH NOT FOUND Attributes: Error 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config NOT FOUND Attributes: Error 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config NOT FOUND Attributes: Error 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config NOT FOUND Attributes: Error 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config NOT FOUND Attributes: Error 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config NOT FOUND Attributes: Error 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config NOT FOUND Attributes: Error 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 CREATE C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS Options: OverwriteIf Access: 00120196 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS FileNameInformation 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 WRITE C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS Offset: 0 Length: 62 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 SET INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS FileBasicInformation 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 CLOSE C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:576 OPEN C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config:KAVICHS NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: 0012019F 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:4092 OPEN C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS Options: Open Access: Read 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:4092 QUERY INFORMATION C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS FileNameInformation 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:4092 READ C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS Offset: 0 Length: 4095 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:4092 READ C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config END OF FILE Offset: 62 Length: 8172 4:29:36 PM msiexec.exe:4092 CLOSE C:\Program Files\Just-A-Test\App.config SUCCESS So I will see if I can work out how to change the event execution order, i.e. put XmlConfig after File copy. cheers si p.s. KAVICHS is apparently my Antivirus NTFS IStream, disabling real-time protection didn't alter the outcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
