Hi all,

Here's another problem, at least I think its a problem....

In our previous release we had included the VC++ 2008 runtime via Merge Modules. We also have them included in the latest release.

However, post install, a repair is fired. After further investigation of the Event Log and .msi, I found that the problematic component pointed to one of the Merge Modules.

Also, from the log I got this...

What the heck is going on here? If it's not something I'm doing wrong, its got to be a bug, no?

Our prevous install was made with Wise so maybe the Merge Modules used with that have a higher version that what is included with install shield. ??

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thanks in advance!!

Is this a major upgrade (ProductCode changed)? Does changing the upgrade option to "install new version then remove unused files" instead of "uninstall old version then install new version" fix the problem?
