Hi all, I created a small sample file that shows exactly my problem, pls see below. The problem can be easily duplicated by doing: 1) build the below sample into a project with version 1.0.0 2) build the same sample but with another version 1.0.1 3) run version 1.0.0 => the product will be installed 4) In C:\Program Files\MySmallProject add a dummy file: momo.txt 5) run the second version 101, which _updates_ the product
=> the momo.txt is gone!! But if in the code instead of: <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize"/> you have: <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"/> by doing all the above steps the momo.txt is _not_ deleted during an update, only during a real uninstall (from add/remove programs), which is the _desired_ behavior. Is this maybe a bug in wix/msi? or am I doing something wrong? I have to have in the installer the: <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize"/> so, can somebody point me out a way of doing this also when: <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize"/>?
