All,
What I want to achieve: I'd like to do a major upgrade with old registry settings retained from previous installer. i.e. registry values previously installed by an older installer which later got updated I tried the following ways but still failed. Example: I have a previous install (Installer A) that populates the registry, say: hklm\Brian\Test : install=1 if I then change the registry manually afterwards hklm\Brian\Test : install=2 Case 1) Major upgrade If I do a major upgrade with another installer (Installer B), it removes hklm\Brian\Test completely. Installer B has a new packagecode and productcode but same upgradecode compare to Installer A. Installer B itself does not change hklm\Brian\Test I then tried with a different upgrade code, this works but you end up having multiple entries in Add/Remove Programs Case 2) Minor upgrade Do a minor upgrade with another installer (Installer C) using REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus Installer C itself does not change hklm\Brian\Test Result It reverts the registry back to what the previous installer (Installer A) default is. i.e. hklm\Brian\Test : install=1 Regards Brian _____________________________________________________________________ This e-mail was sent to you by EASYSCREEN LIMITED (EASYSCREEN).
