Hi all! We have such a problem: We have several products with general part (feature). Components (files) in this feature maybe different in newer versions. Some products can be installed together. If we install product "A" with version of general feature 1 (files "a","b","c") and then install product "B" with version of general feature 2 (files "b","c","d"), product "A" will work correctly. But if we uninstall product "B" then we lost file "d". And files "b","c" will not work correctly without file "d". Partial solution is increase reference in registry for file "d", when we installing product "B" if we find out that general feature was already installed. Then if we remove product "B" all files will be in the right place. But in this case after removing product "A" file "d" will stay on the hdd. That is not good. One more solution was to allocate general feature in separate msi. But then every product will be a bootstrapper which will contain two msi's - general feature and other parts of product. It will solve the problem as I can see but the wish was to make a single msi for a single product.
Is there any standard solutions for such situation? Or maybe somebody faces such a problem and can help with the solution.
