Regarding the "wrong custom action" issue: there have been problems in that area with managed custom actions where the uninstall part of the upgrade runs first, loading the assembly for that older custom action. When the new install runs and the loading code comes to load the new assembly the runtime will not load the assembly because it's the "same" as the one that's already loaded. If that's what's happening, using a strong name (or a new one) on the new version of the assembly should fix it. --------------- Phil Wilson
