Why are you copying files from the original media instead of just using the
File element?
Here is an exemple
Component Id=Root DiskId=1 Guid=...
File Id=MyExe.exe Name=MyExe.exe src=../Setup/MyExe.exe /
/Component
Component Id=DesktopIcon Guid=... DiskId=1
ConditionDesktopIcon = 1/Condition
Shortcut Id=MyExe.lnk Target=[INSTALLDIR]\MyExe.exe
In my product I need support functionallity of downgrading. For example,
after release of the version 2.0.5 and version 2.1.0 and after installing
2.1.0 user can install 2.0.5 and it installs correctly. But how to implement
this without bootstrapping, using only MSI functionality?

Hi Thomas
The C:\Windows\Installer\ folder is hidden system folder which is
used by Windows Installer INTERNALY. It means that you should not
install any files to this folder (I think).
Anyway, you should use the
Directory Id='WindowsFolder' Name='.' SourceName='.'
to get the correct Windows
Thank you for this explanation.
I don't really understand why you add a registry key...
Maybe I don't know what is a keypath

Hi,
CustomAction Id=CallRegASM Directory=INSTALLDIR Win64=no
ExeCommand=quot;[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exequot;
/codebase quot;[INSTALLDIR]MyAssembly.dllquot; Return=check /
works fine.
If uninstall I would use
CustomAction Id=CallUnRegASM Directory=INSTALLDIR
Yet another question:
I don't know, which version of .NET Framework is installed on the customer's
computer,
so I can't use a hard coded path for regasm.exe.
How could I get the path of the most recent version of regasm for the custom
actions below?

You really don't want to call regasm.exe from inside an MSI. What you really
want to do is get all the necessary registry keys for your COM visible
assembly. I haven't done this myself but looking at one of Rob's old examples
you should be able to get these with the following command line:

Hehe... good question. I was wondering how come Don didn't ask this before.
I have to write my own 'undo' Custom Action, that only runs during
uninstall. The reason why these actions are safe, is because the command
prompt will execute the command, and report an error (which the user is
