Get a verbose log. I can't tell what's happening, and I don't know whether you re in a real world situation or one you've induced by omitting a required Dll and consequently you have a bunch of issues that would not happen in the real world. Why not just create a working upgrade, include the required files, and if you want to test a failure and a rollback then add a custom action to do it - don't omit required files and muddy the situation. If you're testing an install that you deliberately broke then the results are likely to be rather unpredictable. --------------- Phil Wilson
