Do "msiBlock" and "msiOld" share the same ProductCode?
Is that ProductCode (or any ProductCode) also shared by "msiNew"?
Do all three share the same UpgradeCode?
Does "msiOld" have any code to guard against it being the source of a downgrade?

> Hi everyone,

> I have a little problem with my burn / msi installer:
>
> My "old" MSI-installer has been replaced by a burn-package that includes
> multiple MSIs (as one of the components that was a merge-module the old MSI
> is now in use by 3rd parties as well).
>
> Unfortunately - due to my lack of knowledge at that time - I did not include
> a MajorUpgrade element in my old MSI.
>
> To remedy this, I have tried the following approach:
>
> My old MSI (msiOld) is uninstalled via my new MSI (msiNew). I want to
> install a second MSI (msiBlock) after msiNew to block any future
> installation of my msiOld to not mess up my new (and future) installation(s).
>
> Unfortunately, burn sees the msiOld and when msiBlock is scheduled it is
> scheduled as a minor install because burn thinks that msiOld is still on
> the system even though it has been uninstalled by msiNew.
>
> Is there any way that I can force burn to still install msiBlock as a major
> install? Or is there any way to tell burn that it needs to re-evaluate what
> is installed on the system after msiNew has been installed (and thus msiOld
> uninstalled) prior to installing msiBlock?
