Hi,

I have two versions of the same installer (installing a windows Service) - V1 & 
V2 and perform the following steps - 

1) Install Version V2 - (it creates the application in Program 
Files\<Application> folder.)
2) Make a copy of the installed folder Program Files\<Application> folder in 
another location.
3) Uninstall Version V2 (Check if Program Files\<Application> folder is deleted 
by the uninstall process)
4) Copy the backup made in Step 2 to Program Files\<Application> folder.
5) Try to install Version V1.

Version V1 installation fails with error message - Service <Name> failed to 
start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I am trying to install the application in Vista OS - Elevated prompt.

Please let me know whats causing this failure. Is there a way to cleanup the 
Program Files\<Application> folder from MSI before copying the files from the 
installer.

Thanks,
Sankaranarayanan MG
