Major updates and MSI-chaining

[VLamm_]

Hello,

i have tree products, witch should install several applications.
For example "Product A" installs "Application 1" and "Application 2"; "Product B" installs "Application 3" and "Application 4"; "Product C" installs "Application 1", "Application 2", "Application 3" and "Application 4".

I'd like to prevent concurrent installation of
- "Product A" and "Product C"
- "Product B" and "Product C"

Well, i suppose to use major update for it.

The problem is:
1) Install "Product C"
-->> all 4 applications are currectly installed and there are 5 ARP entries (5th entry is for "Product C")
2) Install "Product A"
-->> there are 4 applications installed, "Application 1" and "Application 2" are from "Product A" and "Application 3" and "Application 4" are from "Product C". And there are still 5 ARP entries (4 entries are for Application 1-4 and the 5th one is for "Product A")

It looks so, that installer of "Product C", whitch was executed from RemoveExistingProducts, doesent trigger removement of the chained MSIs.

A piece of log:

This line near the end of what you quoted, part of ISChainPackagePrepare, shows that we're set to remove two products; however the snippet does not go far enough to show whether the chaining ever happens. I'm assuming the two product codes shown are the two products you want removed.[CODE]MSI (s) (88!CC) [16:36:08:530]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding IS_CHAINER_POST_COMMANDLINE property. Its value is '/qb /x{65F4C248-9A2B-48D2-BCA0-DB60779A7704};REMOVE=\"ALL\" /qb /x{CB6BCE80-C834-436C-8409-305EEB26AEFA};REMOVE=\"ALL\"'.[/CODE]Normally you should see something about an "embedded chainer" - search for one of those two words in the log to see if you can find any indications for whether it will run, or if Windows Installer is preventing it for some reason.

I've perproduced the issue today once more. Could you look at log file?

[VLamm_]

no ideas?

Is it a bug of IS chaining? Or did i missed some entries/keys/params/etc ?
