Hi,

I have a bundle installer that installs several MSIs, but the bundle itself
does not register itself as a separate product in ARP. I have created a
bundle with the latest build (2520), then I installed it. Then I tried to
uninstall it the ususal way: I uninstalled the components one by one. It
all went fine, and in the end none of my products were listed in ARP. Then
I tried to install an older version of the bundle and it failed. The error
log told me that it was complaining about that the bundle with the higher
version was still installed - however I could not see it in ARP, so I had
no chance removing it. Even msicuu.exe was not listing the bundle as an
installed product.

The only thing that finally worked was that I manually executed my
bundle.exe with the command line switch "/uninstall", then I chose that
option "Uninstall". It finished in less than a second and the bundle was
removed.

I never had such issues with the beta release before.

Is this a bug or a feature? I mean it would be nice if bundles would be
able to check for versions and would be able to block downgrades, but when
told explicitly, and only when the bundle is advertised as a separate
product in ARP. Otherwise it just leads to problems.

Cheers:
Peter
