So I added a rollback action to the old msi to reinstall my drivers right before "RemoveFiles". When I launched the new msi to upgrade, the rollback action never executed but the log file tells me it did. I am sort of confused by MSI log files. There are so many different calls to my rollback action that it is hard to know what is being hit or not.
Are there any good ways to know if my binary rollback action was called successfully? I know for sure it is not getting into the binary at all since I have a messagebox pop up the minute it enters main(). Also are there better ways to sort through the msi logs?
