Hi everyone,

I have a little problem with my burn / msi installer:

My "old" MSI-installer has been replaced by a burn-package that includes
multiple MSIs (as one of the components that was a merge-module the old MSI
is now in use by 3rd parties as well).

Unfortunately - due to my lack of knowledge at that time - I did not include
a MajorUpgrade element in my old MSI.

To remedy this, I have tried the following approach:

My old MSI (msiOld) is uninstalled via my new MSI (msiNew).  I want to
install a second MSI (msiBlock) after msiNew to block any future
installation of my msiOld to not mess up my new (and future) installation(s).

Unfortunately, burn sees the msiOld and when msiBlock is scheduled it is
scheduled as a minor install because burn thinks that msiOld is still on
the system even though it has been uninstalled by msiNew.

Is there any way that I can force burn to still install msiBlock as a major
install?  Or is there any way to tell burn that it needs to re-evaluate what
is installed on the system after msiNew has been installed (and thus msiOld
uninstalled) prior to installing msiBlock?

Best regards,
Tobias
