Hi,
I have a question concerning the following topic:
In our company we create a msi file for a component/product ,e.g. xyz.msi.
The product may only exist in one, the newest version, on the customers
machine, therfore we use Major upgrades to replace any older version during

I have noticed that after applying a minor upgrade (1.0.1) the uninstall
will be executed with using the older version of the installation package
(1.0.0) and not with the new package (1.0.1). How to uninstall using version
1.0.1 ?
This is what I done:
I have a version 1.0.0 msi package.
Sounds like the user is downloading your MSI from a web page using Internet
Explorer clicking Run rather than Save in the download prompt. The MSI is
being run from the users Temporary Internet Files when the time comes for
them to install the later version, the old MSI simply doesn't exist

Thanks for the clarification, I thought the shortname was always used. So in
real life it's probably WINDOW~1.5 on most machines ( try DIR /X ) But you
can't be sure... Short file name generation might even be disabled.

one of the files is MSCOMM32.OCX, this is for handling com ports. We
have a customer who uses a different version of this that provides the
ability to access more com ports. There version is new both in time
stamp and in version. However our installer replaces it, pissing said
customer off.
By the way, I could change it to be Are you sure you want to cancel? to
ignore the installation/remove operation.
But if you have a better idea, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hello Brian,
The CancelDlgText is used on the CancelDlg. When removing the product using
the Maintenance Mode it will show the CancelDlg as you described. This is
