No matter how I define "Schedule" in the MajorUpgrade node, during a Major update, the installer always acts like Schedule is set to afterInstallExecute. The installer will:
1) Install new version first (two copies show up in Add/Remove Programs temporarily during this process) 2) Uninstall old version In doing so, non-permanent registry entries are removed, and InstallFinalize CA to start the application is called after step 1, but step 2 is then closing the application so it can be prepared for uninstall. Even though Schedule is supposed to default to "afterInstallValidate", I still defined it explicitly with no luck. <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." AllowDowngrades="no" AllowSameVersionUpgrades="no" Schedule="afterInstallValidate" /> Has anyone else ran across this issue before?
