If that didn't solve it, and if this hasn't been solved yet, try setting the property MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES to 1 either in your command-line or your upgraded MSI and try again. Assuming you are using a fully patched OS, this will catch the case where you have violated component rules and prevent you from making every single component of the affected features become advertised, orphaning the resources (the effect is that NO changes are applied to the box, including ARP, and installer reports that it doesn't install those features, which is exactly what you reported below).
I always set that property in every single MSI I ever create. It has saved endless hours of investigation into weirdnesses otherwise caused by this type of incident. ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eitan Behar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 5:41 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
