There are two ways how to debug managed custom actions recommended by

Hello all, I'm looking for a way to prevent downgrading certain components
installed in the GAC.
What I'm currently doing is launching msiexec with UPGRADE=all

This does upgrade deployed files and GAC:ed assemblies quite nicely. The
problem is that it also downgrades GAC:ed
The requirement is to start the windows service immediately after install and
also the service should start automatically after reboot.

Hi all,
I have an installer where I have outsourced all strings that could be

it does not seem to be possible to use preprocessor variables in .wxl files.
For example we have several defines inside a .wxi file

You're right, and I perhaps read too much into the question. I assumed that the
requirement was to start the service but the poster believes that you do this
by setting it to start auto and asking for a reboot instead of using
ServiceControl. It's something I keep seeing.

Yes. That's a fairly common way of making sure that a file doesn't get
installed on the system without breaking the component rules during patching.
That's a transitive component.

Right, transitive component, rather than volatile. It goes like:

Anyone working on something like that?

Our products run on an Oracle 9i/10g backend; one of the requirements for
