Ok, I found the problem: it's the path in the uninstallstring in the registry key you pointed me to: when installing the first time, I configured "M:\Audio\MeldaProduction" as main path (note the backslashes, they were used because I copy/pasted the path from windows explorer).

The Uninstallstring reg key I found is "M:\Audio\MeldaProduction/setup.exe", and the mix between slash and backslash confuses somehow the update procedure. I tried changing this entry using all backslashes or all slashes and everything works as expected.

I think you shouldn't use slashes at all in the Windows Installer, because they aren't standard path dividers for that OS...

Thank you very much,
Mario

Aaaha, very well, thank you for the info!
All our software uses slashes only, because it os cross-platform and Windows handles them well. I'll check what could cause this.

I know what caused this, probably: I wrote custom paths using backslashes in the updater, and your installer added "/setup.exe" and set the reg key with the result.

Again, this is wrong in windows. I suggest to consider replacing slashes to backslashes when writing the reg key, and doing the reverse when reading back it in the updater.
