Well, what I tried was a CA that ran before FindRelatedProducts. This CA prompted for and set the TRANSFORMS variable in hopes that when the FindRelatedProducts executed it would find the instance already installed and go into maintenance mode. In my test however (maybe it was flawed), it seemed that the new value for TRANSFORMS wasn't being used for the product lookup.
Any thoughts?
