Hi! When I installed the following test MSI, and uninstall it afterwards, the registry key gets removed. HOWEVER, if I install a version 1.0 and a version 1.1 of the MSI (with different Versions and product codes, of course), and I uninstall own of them, the Registry key is still there. Please note that the Key has a $(var.ProductCode) inside, so its different from version to version.
I introduced the Property DISABLEMSIUPGRADE to disable the RemoveExistingProducts Action. I need to do this, because I have some custom upgrade logic in my external UI handler. If I don't set DISABLEMSIUPGRADE, the problem doesn't occour. Is there another way to disable the Upgrade using a property? How can I fix this probem? Thanks a lot.
