Something doesn't compute there. Can you be a bit more specific about what upgrade in step 2 means? Also, does OnDetectRelatedPackage provide useful info?

I'm developing a managed bootstrapper application, and have run into a peculiar problem. I'm testing the following scenario for a simple single-package bundle: * Install version 1.0 * Upgrade to version 1.1 * Run the version 1.1 installer again When doing this, the package is detected as absent in the third step, which confuses my MBA. If I skip the upgrade and instead just install 1.1 from scratch and then run the installer again, the package is detected as present. What could cause this? The requirement I have is that running the installer for a version which is already installed should present the user with an uninstall option. But if an upgrade has taken place, I can't get it to work. I have an event logger which shows this during the detect phase: [062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i100: Detect begin, 1 packages [062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectBegin event. Parameters: Installed = True PackageCount = 1 Result = None [062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectPackageBegin event. Parameters: PackageId = TheProduct.msi Result = None [062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectPackageComplete event. Parameters: PackageId = TheProduct.msi State = Absent Status = 0 [062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i101: Detected package: TheProduct.msi, state: Absent, cached: Complete [062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectComplete event. Parameters: Status = 0 So I see that it is installed, but the package is absent... Thankful for any insights!
