I don't think you'd get a downgrade you would like. I think you would end up with a mush of the two slightly different versions of the application because of the component versions.
Example: V1 - has component 21 with ver 1.1.27 V2 - has component 21 with ver 1.2.0 You try to reinstall V1 and you will end up keeping component 21 with ver 1.2.0 Major upgrades keep proving to be the safest method for us -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 12:12 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
