Hi all,
We have a problem with a minor upgrade of our product. I do this from a command line like
>msiexec /i [Package.msi] REINSTALMODE=vomus REINSTALL=A,B,C ADDLOCAL=A1,C1
where A1 and C1 are a new subfeatures for A and B existing features.
It works fine on Windows 2000, but works wrong on Windows NT4. The MSI log file indicates that the feature state of C is
"C; Installed: Advertise; Request: Reinstall; Action: Reinstall"
and about all components
"Comp1; Installed: Local; Request: Null; Action: Null"
But this feature was installed as a Local as said another MSI log file. The property of this features in a project is "Disallow Advertise".
It causes the files are not updated.
Do anybody know why it's happend on NT4 but not on Windows 2000?
Windows NT4 has MSi v1.2, Windows 2000 has MSI v2.0.
Thank you for advanced.

This usually means that you've added a component to an existing feature (feature C ?). Could have happened by a merge module. In this case the behaviour is undefined.

Thanks a lot, You was right. We have had a component in v1 of a product, then this component was excluded in v2 and then put back in v3, which cause this problem.
