Due to very helpful assistance from this group, I have almost completely got my major update to work. Just one more thing that I know of.
I perform the major update and all seems well. When I run the application from the start menu for the first time, Windows 2000 initiates a repair and it repairs the application. I am wondering why it is doing this.
My FindRelatedApplications item is between Install Validate and InstallInitialize. I placed it here because I may have broken component GUID rules in the past.
I have numerous features and subfeatures in the install, based on past attempts to get the minor upgrade working.
If I install version 1, start the application from the start menu and then close it and upgrade to 2, , I see this behavior
If I install version 1 and upgrade to 2, without first running 1, I do not see this behavior.
Any ideas?
Thank you
