Hi Blair, I did some more investigation and reading archived posts to this group. Until now I had RemoveExistingProducts scheduled before InstallInitialize in all my installs. If I now schedule it after InstallFinalize, everything seems to work. Is this the way to go? Is there any downside to schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize? Can I do this for every install? I mean, all my installations up to now had RemoveExistingProducts scheduled before InstallInitialize, are there any "types" of installs (whatever that is) that should not schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize? E.g. installs that install services or some other sort of unusual installs? What can break if I schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize? Any advice appreciated, -- Stefan Kuhr -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Files-missing-after-major-update-what-am-I-doing-wrong-tp5125447p5127517.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
