That depends on where you schedule RemoveExistingProducts. It sounds like you're doing it "early" so it's an uninstall of the old product and install of the new one. You can move it later. But see http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/12/30/paying-for-upgrades/ for caveats. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
