You're telling MSI that the new package replaces the old one; there's nothing that tells MSI that the files were removed or that it needs to keep track of them any longer. See "Changing the Product Code" in the MSI SDK for details about removing components: Short version is that you should avoid it if possible. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
