That's (apparently) by design if your major upgrade is marked "detect only," since there should be no action taken. The downgrade enum is passed only for *minor* upgrade packages (same product code and lower product version). When the product codes differ, any matching product is considered a major upgrade, even if it's a lower version -- same as MSI. You might want to file a feature request to ask for the related package version number to be included, so you have the same info Burn does in deciding what to do. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
