Sounds like Component Rule violations. Did you keep your Component/@Guids constant appropriately?

This is the most efficient placement for the action. In this case, the installer updates files before removing the old applications. Only the files being updated get installed during the installation. If the removal of the old application fails, then the installer only rolls back the uninstallation of the old application." So this is how I have my installer setup. I don't feel my Product is that unique in the regard that it has some files that don't change between versions. So the InstallFiles action only installs the files that have been updated between versions, and leaves the non-changed ones where they are. However, when RemoveExistingProducts runs, the files that have not changed are removed. This is certainly not what I want. Is there a setting that I am missing?
