Your installers should always store the location that they install to. Search for ARPINSTALLLOCATION in this mailing list for instructions on how to do that.
In your upgrade installers, you can add a registrysearch to retrieve ARPINSTALLLOCATION into a property and that tells you where to start your search from. After that it depends where your user.config is kept. -----Original Message----- From: Manolache Adrian [mailto:prog_...@yahoo.com] Sent: 08 February 2011 13:31 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
