MajorUpgrade detected after uninstall and then installing again
hi,
i have a strange behavior which i only have at one of about 30 installers.
i do the following:
1. install the product (on win 2003 server)
2. remove the product
3. install the product again
during point 3, the setup detects an major upgrade, alltough i have removed the product (containing only one feature and one component).
also the log file shows something strange; at first it seems to find a related product (why??) and therefore sets the IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE property to yes, but after that it says "no related products found":
when searching the registry for the key 3AE9833C-5092-40D0-AEC4-41A38BFB6F8A i can NOT find it!
any help or advice where i can proceed my investigations?
thx,
Thomas
