Sounds like this famous bug again. This applies to anything installed by Fusion, including the VC merge modules on Vista and above (in SxS).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSVC problem on Vista (no SP) If you update to Windows Installer 4.5 is the same behaviour observed? Why are you testing on Vista without any Service Packs installed anyway? There's a reason why Microsoft issue service packs for operating systems, this is one of them.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSVC problem on Vista (no SP) Oops :) When doing a major upgrade on Vista without any service pack the VC merge modules are uninstalled (in RemoveExistingProject) and not replaced by the new package. This only happens on Vista (no sp) all other OS it works as expected. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Farrell [mailto:jfarr...@pillardata.com] Sent: 19 April 2011 23:14 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
