I've done an MSI Setup to install multiple CAB files from the desktop as
shown in a sample.

If I install more than once, it gives me the message that another version of
this product is already installed - please configure or remove with
Add/Remove programs.

I've set Remove Previous Versions to true, but it doesn't do what I think it
does.

Is this avoidable or should I instruct customers to remove an old version
before upgrading? There is potential for confusion there, especially if a
customer has removed something frm the device but not the desktop.

In a separate but related question, I've seen a reccommendation that a
desktop installer be installed within an Activesync directory. How would I
find this directory at runtime?

You should add entries to Upgrade table and get AS folder from registry
using AppSearch table.



Anyway, these questions have nothing to do with CF. If you need more
details, please search and/or ask in relevant NG:



microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi

microsoft.public.pocketpc.acti-vesync



Best regards,
