[wix-users] if an upgrade fails *after* the previous product is removed will rollback reinstall it? [P]

[Phil Wilson]

I misspoke here. Your REP is between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize
so a rollback will undo the REP and reinstall the original product.

That not in the transaction between InstallInitialize->InstallFinalize
transaction, so if it fails it will rollback and fail the upgrade. If you
sequence it after InstallInitialoze, inside the transaction, then a
rollbackl of the upgrade will reinstall the older product. It's often tricky
because it's an edge case that doesn't often get tested before the product
is shipped. 

If REP is after InstallFinalize, the upgrade product is installed, then the
older version is uninstalled, and if this uninstall fails then it will roll
back, so you'll end up with both old and new products installed.

That depends on the scheduling of RemoveExistingProducts.  It is not true in
most cases.

Hi folks,
If while a major upgrade is running and the install fails and rollsback
(after the previous product was uninstalled) will the rollback attempt to
reinstall the previous version?
Thanks,
Steve
