Installscript MSI major update ERROR !

Hello everybody,

Issue:
I have an error during a major update.

Introduction:
I use the major

Scenario:
I have an error on my installation (installscript MSI project ) with custom action and installscript function so I have prepared a very simple Installscript MSI project with just a feature and a file installed.

I have tested the installation and uninstallation of the simple project: it works fine.

I have installed the 1.0.0 version and after I have prepared the 1.1.0 version. To fire the major update I have also changed the product code.

I have shaped the update in the upgrade section as:



I leave the default configuration on a major update to uninstall the old version and after install.

When I launch the setup, after clicking the Install button at the end of the installation masks, when it should start the unistallation of the old version I get this error:



and this is the message:

Problem signature:

Additional Information 3: 0a9e
Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

Closing the error the installation goes on and finalize good.

As result I have the new version installed but the old one is still shown in the Installed Application with out the icon. Trying to uninstall it does not work throwing a message: "1628: Failed to complete the installation", leaving the item in the Installed application form.


Trying to uninstall the 1.1.0 version it works properly.


Which is the error ?
I found in this page that major version are managed by msi and installscript msi. That's why I've choosen it.


Thanks in advance for the help.
