Hello Krishna,

Please note that launching a package that is already installed will trigger Maintenance mode. If the package in question is launched with basic UI, a repair will be triggered (the features already installed will be reinstalled), thus the behavior you've mentioned is normal.

Hello Hans,

This could happen if the same components are shared between multiple packages installed on the same machine. Windows Installer keeps a refcount for the components and does allow removing them until all the applications that use them are removed. For more details please take a look on ...

Hello Dante,

Unfortunately we don't have support for this behavior. The correct implementation would be to use a condition for installing prerequisites that is false when the prerequisite is not installed and true when the prerequisite is installed.

Hello,

I thought I tried that and on the upgrade it completely removed the registry values. I'll try again.

I forgot to mention you need to enable "Permanent" option for the components in questions. During a major upgrade the old package is removed first and then the new one is installed. With ...

Hello,

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other ...

Hello,

The dialog in question is used for Basic User Interface. This option directs Windows Installer to display only a dialog with a progress bar showing the evolution of the installation and the message boxes that display error messages. It is used especially for unassisted or automated installs ...

Hello,

Please take a look on this article : Paths of the folders in the "Files and Folders" Page

Just let me know if you have any other questions or doubts ...
