I have checked to log
msiexec /i myinstaller.msi /l* log
for both XP and Win7 32bit
and right after ExcuteAction

MSI (s) (58:C0) [11:34:23:511]: Ignoring disallowed property INSTALLLOCATION
MSI (s) (58:C0) [11:34:23:511]: Ignoring disallowed property FILEEXISTS
MSI (s) (58:C0) [11:34:23:511]: Ignoring disallowed property TARGETDIR
MSI (s) (58:C0) [11:34:23:511]: Ignoring disallowed property USERNAME
MSI (s) (58:C0) [11:34:23:511]: Ignoring disallowed property ROOTDRIVE

The above lines appear in the Win7 log ( which do not appear in XP)
where INSTALLLOCATION is the property that used to do fileSearch and return
to FILEEXISTS property.

anyone know what's going on here...???
