Frederik, I think I may be mistaken, and there is some other problem with my wix setup. Ive created a small test installer which creates a COM+ app and installs an assembly and it works fine during reinstall. So, I think there is a different problem somewhere in my (huge) installation program. Perhaps you were right about the properties, ill have to do more checking.
Thanks for your help though. gcoates wrote: > > No problem!
