How to determine if Upgrade is started
Hello.
I have a simple application running on Windows OS. It consists from a couple of binaries and a merge module (VC run time). I packed them into .msi package.
On one my test system I cannot install this package: I always got Upgrade dialog which appears only if "IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE" property is set to "Yes" - this is my setting.
On that test system I've been searching in registry for any part of Product Code GUID, Package Code GUID and UpgradeCode GUID. I didn't found them in registry. Also, I've been searching for any folder or file on %SystemRoot% folder (using GUID or package file name and even package properties as a search phrase). I found nothing at all.
IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE property is not set in a package (for example by some Custom action) at all.
Why is this property set to "Yes" if I do not have my application installed and therefore Upgrade should not came up. This is happening only on one my test system.
What is the right procedure or right property to check to determine, that Upgrade will be proceed?
Thanks in advance

Try logging the install and search for the property in the log file where it is being set.
I think you can create a log by adding /L*VX LOG.TXT to the msiexec command line.

Thanks for replay MicrosoftBob.
Well, that's the problem. I tried to install with full log file creation (/l*v ...) and in log file I got lines which shows that mentioned GUIDs (UpgradeCode, PackageCode and ProductCode) are not found in the system and in the same action IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE property is set to YES. Why? I do not understand why this property's value is changed to Yes (at the beggining has NO!).
Can someone help me, please?

Post the relevant log text in a message inside of a code tag. Be sure to get the all the lines from the module that is setting the property.
Or upload the whole log here: www.senduit.com
Or both. [;)]

Actually, it is okay to post it right here-- just be sure to use the CODE tags. The toolbar button when writing a post looks like: <%
Doing this places the text in a scrollable area and keeps the "mess" it would otherwise create to a minimum.
Just be sure there is no license or personal information displayed in the log!
