The Request is the expected-intended state (based on conditions and parent features). Null means it shouldn't be touched. I'm interested in knowing why it says Installed: Absent on the upgrade.
The SchedXmlFile action has access to just two of the three values (Installed and Action?) and has to "determine" what it should do based on that. There is supposed to be a formula between all three that works like this: Installed: Absent; Action: Local = install Installed: Local; Action: Absent = remove Installed: Local; Action: Local = upgrade or repair (install again) Installed: Local; Action: Null = leave alone (it was already installed, and wasn't changed in this upgrade) Installed: Absent; Action: Absent = don't install I would assume that the following would also mean leave alone: Installed: Absent; Action: Null See the MsiGetComponentState() api for the view available to SchedXmlFile. I wonder if adding LOGVERBOSE=1 to your commandline and looking in the log around SchedXmlFile will give more information (http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/07/15/verbose-logging-from-wcautil) about why it is executing for that component. -----Original Message----- From: si [mailto:sshnug...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 1:01 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Hi Blair, All our upgrades are Major. As for the component, the only reference in the log is: New Install: Action ended 16:58:44: CostFinalize. Return value 1. MSI (s) (FC:08) [16:58:44:731]: Doing action: InstallValidate Action 16:58:44: InstallValidate. Validating install Action start 16:58:44: InstallValidate. [snip] MSI (s) (FC:08) [16:58:44:734]: Component: WebConfigSqlDbWinAuthComponent; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Local MSI (s) (FC:08) [16:58:44:734]: Component: WebConfigSqlDbSqlAuthComponent; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null Upgrade: Action ended 17:12:57: CostFinalize. Return value 1. MSI (s) (D8:20) [17:12:57:359]: Doing action: InstallValidate Action 17:12:57: InstallValidate. Validating install Action start 17:12:57: InstallValidate. [snip] MSI (s) (D8:20) [17:12:57:363]: Component: WebConfigSqlDbWinAuthComponent; Installed: Absent; Request: Null; Action: Null MSI (s) (D8:20) [17:12:57:363]: Component: WebConfigSqlDbSqlAuthComponent; Installed: Absent; Request: Null; Action: Null So the Action value in the upgrade looks correct, but I'm wondering why the Request value is null, is this a clue?
