Hi, I have a small problem during major upgrade with Registry/Permission element. I have created a very simple example replicating the problem, the sources are below.
Steps to recreate: 1. In msi version 1 I create registry key and add some permission to it for "NetworkService" user. 2. In msi version 2 I update the same registry key and I also have the same permission tag there. Also in this second msi I have a condition which always triggers the rollback (to simulate the problem I have in my real life msi) 3. Install the msi version 1 4. Install the msi version 2 over it -> major upgrade -> forced rollback 5. After the rollback, the system is not restored to the exact state as it was before installation of the msi version 2. The permissions are deleted! So they are reverted to the state before installation of the msi version 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The first msi source: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";> <Product Id="????????-????-????-????-????????????"

Is it a bug? I have also tried it in Wix 3.0.3221 with the same result (using the UtilExtension) Thanks Jan Brabec Radiant Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
