So far so good... However, version numbers and revert consent seem to make no difference. The distribution package always shows the custom install page, which is intentional. First time I install anything, all the options have "install" next to them... as they should. New version of something already installed, they say "upgrade"... makes sense to me. But if I run the same installer again, it still says "upgrade", even though it's the same version. And it seems if I run an earlier installer, it still says "upgrade", even though it would be a downgrade, and even if revert consent was turned off in that component package. What I need to know is.. Is that just how it works, basically ignoring the version info? And, if not What might be going wrong? Which version entry is the important one? What format does it have to be to work? regards Jon _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
