Hi there!

I use InstallShield 12 (evaluate) and this is my problem:

I have to update 3 DLLs and until now this was done by a mergemodule included in my setup.
Now installation in this way does not work anymore.
So i have build a new project including a Feature with 3 Components for the 3 DLLs.

Status before executing the new setup (update):
App Components can be seen in "Add/Remove Programs" with version 1.2.0.475

After executing the new setup, none of the DLLs is updated and the App Components cannot be seen anymore in "Add/Remove Programs"!

Whats happening??

Here is what the log says:
CODE

Doing action: InstallValidate
Feature: Components; Installed: Absent;   Request: Null;   Action: Null
Component: first.dll; Installed: Absent;   Request: Null;   Action: Null
Component: second.dll; Installed: Absent;   Request: Null;   Action: Null
Component: third.dll; Installed: Absent;   Request: Null;   Action: Null
PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying CostingComplete property. Its current value is '0'. Its new value: '1'.
PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REMOVE property. Its value is 'ALL'.


Why is the log stating the last (REMOVE ALL???) ???

Thanks in advance,
Falk.

Did you author the upgrade table ? The upgrade did not recognize your new feature and for this the feature plus the containing components were not selected for installation during the upgrade. Do the components install correctly with an initial install ? What kind of upgrade did you do ? What REINSTALL Property ?

The difference between theory and practice is larger in practice than in the theory.
