One example is to fix the cached .msi during upgrade before 'RemoveExistingProducts' if some bug was found in the uninstallation of the previous version, or execution of some actions will prevent the upgrade.

However, I'm not sure why you would want to. I'm assuming that the changes are persisted to the file, though. Can someone provide some useful examples of why you would want to update the MSI database during the course of an install? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.
