Posting links to logs of the downgrade (both the uninstall and the install logs) would help deduce the actual problem. The bundle logs detect and planning sections of the logs would be the first place to look.

Subject: [WiX-users] reinstall major upgrade removes files yet installed For the longest time I have had a wix msi and bundle that I could upgrade or downgrade without having to uninstall first, before installing the version I want to test. Now it seems if a previous install exists, the bundle (or msi) will remove the files from the previous install, and mark the program installed in ARP. In this state, I have to uninstall and then reinstall in order to get the files and mark the program installed in ARP. If I install on a system without the program, everything installs as expected. This behavior change seems to coenside with my building the program with dynamic linking (vs. static linking), which called for the inclusion of Microsoft Redistributables. It is very handy for a user to just install without having to un-install first, so i would like to keep that experience. Bellow find my msi and bundle wxs files. ----------------------- MyProgram.wxs (msi) ----------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?include $(var.wxi_variables) ?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
