I don't think so. I am testing on Virtual machine. First, I run test_setup_1, then do snapshot and do major update on test_setup_2 in quiet mode. After analyzing results I restore to the snapshot and do major update on test_setup_2 with UI. You wrote: /but then you run the UI install and that

Nope the VM's are strictly captured snapshots and therefore no accumulative changes are applied to the images. Another thing to note is that we have our own uninstaller application that simply launch the uninstalls of our products that are selected by the user and the tester noticed that the slow

Well perhaps Raymond Chen lives in a different world to the one I do. Yes in an ideal world, we would fix our app so that it doesn't need the compatibility tick-box checked - but the problem with our app is that it uses a third party ODBC driver that is not compatible - we cannot change that
