Major Upgrade, change of INSTALLDIR and Installer CA = Error 1001
We are having issues with the following scenario: We have a product which we have changed the default installdir on. We have added a major upgrade item for the previous version (and verified that this new version is executed as a major upgrade in MSI Validator). The project contains several Installer dlls (Installer Class), and we are experiencing Error 1001 during upgrade.
In the log we find the following: Action 11:51:35: _70AFA579B2F851B352EC17A9F23A00AB.install. MSI (s) (78:C8) [11:51:35:517]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=_70AFA579B2F851B352EC17A9F23A00AB.install,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=ManagedInstall,CustomActionData=/installtype=notransaction /action=install /LogFile= /allusers=1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Company\ML\CA-Install-OML.dll" "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\{6B750DCC-0B02-41CC-B39C-77ED2A434794}\_isconfig.xml") MSI (s) (78:D8) [11:51:35:532]: Invoking remote custom action.

Return value 3.
The Installer CA runs perfectly when just installing. If we try to disabling this CA, the error just occur at the next Installer CA
Using process monitor we found that MSI attempted to access the previous InstallState file.
Anyone have any idea of why this is happening and can share some wisdom about this matter?
