Differential updates fail on Multi-Instance installs.
This appears to be a regression from version 12 when using Installscript type installations. I created a little test install that is versioned 10.01.000 and made it a multi-instance installation. I installed one instance of this installation. Then I created a differential update installation that is versioned 10.01.004. When attempting to apply this update, no existing installation is found! Single instance installations work fine. It's only the multi-instance installs that fail. Anyone else seen this behavior? I may have to go back to version 12 to avoid this bug.

I have a multi-instace installer written in 12 that supports update mode. Did you change anything between the versions?

Eric,
No, actually I started with a new project in Version 2008 and made it multi-instance and then built and installed a single copy. Then I changed the version number and built a differential update. The update will not install as InstallShield is complaining that no installation was present!
I also tryed an updating a project from version 11 and version 12 to version 2008 and still the same results. Both version 11 and Version 12 differential update apply OK.

InstallShield technical support has verified that this is a regression (BUG) in version 2008. A fix has not yet been identified.
