Bob, I'm having a lot of problems trying to do minor upgrade. Partly the MSI is automated using a custom in house tool I wrote, so I have less control over it. I might just have to do a major upgrade every time. Is there any side effect by doing so? Thanx, Aaron On 1/4/07, Bob Arnson <[EMAI

Thanks Bob, I will provide the information below. Hopefully someone can figure it out. All the information I provided below are related to the upgrade using the MSI. I installed the first version by simply clicking on the "older" MSI. The MSI I'm trying to do a minor upgrade with has a differen
