Thanks for your reply. In response to your questions:
1) REQUIREDBINARIES is added to SecureCustomProperties, which
is correct, I believe, but does not itself get a value, which would seem to
be consistent with the behaviour I'm seeing.
2) The guid which I actually assign to the variable ExecutablesCode
is the UpgradeCode for the product for which I am looking
(not that of the product currently being installed).
