Now I get it!!! the UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is NOT set when the product is installed during an upgrade, only when uninstalled during an upgrade. THX! > I think you probably want to use some variation on the following (depending on what your upgrade table looks like) to run something on the first install only. NOT (Installed Or OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED) Yes, this is what I'm using: (NOT Installed) AND (NOT OLDAPPFOUND) and works fine for me, I just didn't know why the UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is not working. > For example to force a CA to run on a full uninstall only, but not when it's > being uninstalled because an upgrade is happening I use REMOVE ~= "ALL" AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE] by the way, speaking of this condition, I did the following in my code (I want to delete a log file only on a full uninstall): [code] <Component Id="RemoveLogFile" Guid="GUID"> <RemoveFile Id="RemoveLogFile" Name="momo.log" On="uninstall"/> <!--see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369786.aspx, but doesn't work for me!--> <Condition>REMOVE="ALL" AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Condition> </Component> [/code] For some reason this doesn't work for me, the log file is still there after the full uninstall. If instead I use the following condition: [code] <!--... so use this one instead, which seems to be working--> <Condition>(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE=ALL)</Condition> [/code] then it is working exactly as I need. Still weird, b/c everywhere is docummented as being the first one. Am I doing smth wrong? Thx a lot!
