And what do you need to modify that isn't in a table? I haven't tried this myself but it should just be as "easy" as: Insert a row into The Binary table containing the CA DLL. Insert a record into the CustomActionTable. Insert a row into the InstallUISequence/InstallExecuteSequence tables

The safe thing to do is the major upgrade with "after" set after InstallInitialize. This effectively uninstalls the old product and then installs the new one, so that means you can install the upgraded service anywhere and it will just work. Any other upgrade type will be risky for a couple or more

Could you not use a transform to inject the CA (and scheduling) into their MSI? Assuming you are the one controlling the install/uninstall, that would be the cleanest approach I can think of. -Original Message- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Monday, September 29

I would take the last approach. The other suggestions are not viable so far as I am aware. I have a 3rd party msi for which I chain a pre3rdParty msi and a post3rdparty msi for similar reasons, so it is certainly possible to do your last suggestion, depending on your details. -- View this mes
