Since you had/have a variety of DEF files it seems to me that you have unneeded/unwanted clutter. It is possible your Registry also has some of this stuff. Official releases of MSIs should be stable and perform the necessary clean-up. History proves otherwise. The management practices I described are used for most programs I use, especially Open Source programs.

I agree only _if_ you are moving from an official release MSI to another official MSI release _and_ you haven't been using beta versions between the installs. This is the only way you can prove anything for a regular customer since this is the pattern they will follow. MB> That is what RitLabs advises its customers and its beta testers to do. See above.
