That means it didn't find the previous version for some reason otherwise it would mention the ProductCode guid of the discovered product. What's actually in the Upgrade table in the MSI file? I'm wondering if the version range is really correct.
That location for REP is more efficient because the file replacement rules are such that you have many files that aren't going to be updated. If a lot are going to be updated anyway the efficiency decreases. However it's not a safe location because of the rollback issue. There is a similar efficient location (assuming efficiency is valued more than safety ;=) ) which is directly before InstallFinalize using [InstallExecute, RemovePreviousVersions, InstallFinalize ], which is what the 3rd bullet is saying - the rollback of the new install means the new product won't be installed, and the older product uninstall is rolled back leaving it installed, so you're back where you started.

Does that look right? > Why is REP after InstallFinalize? I was following the recommendation in the fourth bullet point of the Sequence Restrictions section of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371197(VS.85).aspx. I've tried the other possibilities too. I still end up with two entries in the Add or Remove Programs table. -- Charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
