Okay, Vadym is pointing you in the right direction. DetectPackage tells you the state of *this* package where "package" is defined by ProductCode. You will get superseded from DetectPackage only when you try to install the same ProductCode with a lower version number (basically a minor "downgrade"). DetectRelatedPackage tells you the states of packages that share an UpgradeCode. You'll get superseded there if there is a package with same upgrade code and higher version (basically a major "downgrade").
These messages are separate to enable you to detect both minor upgrades (DetectPackage) and major upgrades (DetectRelatedPackage). Plus a bunch of other pure detection scenarios with DetectRelatedPackage(). 2011/7/5 Alexander Krivács Schrøder <alexander.schro...@mermaid.no> > I'm using Burn v3.6.1803.0. > > Here's the detect section of the log file: > > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:51.683+01:00]: Detect 11 packages > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.097+01:00]: Condition 'Netfx4FullVersion > AND (NOT VersionNT64 OR Netfx4x64FullVersion)' evaluates to true. > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.097+01:00]: Detected package: Netfx4Full, > state: Present, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.117+01:00]: Detect 1 msi features for > package: ReactiveFramework > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.158+01:00]: Detected feature: > ProductFeature, state: Local > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.161+01:00]: Detected package: > ReactiveFramework, state: Present, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.162+01:00]: Detect 1 msi features for > package: SyncFramework.Synchronization > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.174+01:00]: Detected feature: > Feature_Synchronization_Core, state: Local > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.174+01:00]: Detected package: > SyncFramework.Synchronization, state: Present, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.175+01:00]: Detect 1 msi features for > package: SyncFramework.ProviderServices > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.176+01:00]: Detected feature: > Feature_FileSync_Provider, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.176+01:00]: Detected package: > SyncFramework.ProviderServices, state: Absent, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.177+01:00]: Detect 1 msi features for > package: SyncFramework.DatabaseProviders > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.187+01:00]: Detected feature: > OCS_v2.0_Core, state: Local > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.187+01:00]: Detected package: > SyncFramework.DatabaseProviders, state: Present, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.187+01:00]: Condition > 'SqlCeVersion=v3.5.8080.0 AND SqlCeServicePackLevel=2' evaluates to true. > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.187+01:00]: Detected package: > SqlCompactEdition, state: Present, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.190+01:00]: Detect 1 msi features for > package: Headline.Operations > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.190+01:00]: Detected feature: > Operations.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.190+01:00]: Detected package: > Headline.Operations, state: Absent, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.192+01:00]: Detect 1 msi features for > package: Headline.ChannelBuilder > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.192+01:00]: Detected feature: > ChannelBuilder.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.214+01:00]: Detected package: > Headline.ChannelBuilder, state: Absent, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.224+01:00]: Detect 3 msi features for > package: Headline.Client > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.224+01:00]: Detected feature: > PublicEnvironmentVariable.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.230+01:00]: Detected feature: > ClientPDB.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.230+01:00]: Detected feature: > Client.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.230+01:00]: Detected package: > Headline.Client, state: Absent, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.235+01:00]: Detect 1 msi features for > package: Headline.Agent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.235+01:00]: Detected feature: > Agent.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.243+01:00]: Detected package: > Headline.Agent, state: Absent, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.248+01:00]: Detect 5 msi features for > package: Headline.Player > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.248+01:00]: Detected feature: > DirectXRedist, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.270+01:00]: Detected feature: > AppConfig.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.270+01:00]: Detected feature: > Player.Plugins.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.270+01:00]: Detected feature: > Player.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.271+01:00]: Detected feature: > PlayerPDB.Feature, state: Absent > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.274+01:00]: Detected package: > Headline.Player, state: Absent, cached: No > [1708:1F44][2011-07-05T12:35:52.279+01:00]: Detect complete, result: 0x0 > > The relevant package here is Headline.Agent.
