I have to install my MSI on 300 clients over a network.
The problem is for some clients it is a Minor upgrade from
2.0 to 2.3 and for some it is a first install.

If I have to run the command msiexec /i abc.msi
REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus for doing an upgrade
then the ones that does not have any software will have a
problem and if I install it regular way...I can't upgrade
on some.

How may I solve this problem?

Thanks,
Leo

What happens if you run the minor upgrade command on a clean machine?

One option is to add a custom action that clears the REINSTALL property if this turns out to be a first-time installation (in which case you don't want to set REINSTALL=ALL); please see http://www.installsi.../Upgrading.html for one approach.
