Thanks for your reply Phil, I had tried that and unfortunately got the error
*"RemoveExistingProducts action sequenced incorrectly"* The sequence which I had tried was <InstallExecute Before="RemoveExistingProducts" /> <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallFinalize">PREVIOUSVERSION_AGPM_FOUND</RemoveExistingProducts> I had also tried the following sequence but still got the RemoveExistingProducts error <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallFinalize">PREVIOUSVERSION_AGPM_FOUND</RemoveExistingProducts> On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 1:42 PM, Wilson, Phil <phil.wil...@invensys.com>wrote: > The other placement of RemoveExistingProducts is in a sequence at the end > typically something like: > > PublishProduct > InstallExecute > RemoveExistingProducts > InstallFinalize > > > So there is room for your deferred CA in that gap between REP and > InstallFinalize. > > Phil W > > -----Original Message----- > From: Meera Jindal [mailto:meera.jin...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 9:43 AM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: [WiX-users] RemoveExisitngProducts and deferred CA > > Hi > > Due to KB 905238(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905238) I have to > schedule > RemoveExisitngProducts after InstallFinalize.
