microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.setup

Could not find .InstallState

Hi All,
[ This post is related to COM addin, but the same problem happens when
I created a project using installer class & incorporated that project
into my existing windows application project.]
I have created one Outlook addin using VSTO SE / VB 2005 / Outlook
2007. To set the security of my addin I added the output of
SetSecurity project in custom actions (As described on MS site). I
created a setup using same solution's Setup project. I set
DetectNewerInstalledVersion & RemovePreviousVersions properties of
Setup project to True. Lets say I Installed current version of Setup
viz. 1.0.0 on my machine in <ProgramFilesFolder>\Trial, now I want to
remove this version from my machine when I will install the next
version of the same setup. So I incremented the version of Setup to
1.0.1 & changed the product code accordingly. I installed that setup
on existing installed setup 1.0.0. Now if I install this version 1.0.1
to the same directory then it is working perfectly. But while
installing 1.0.1 if I choose another directory to install say,
<ProgramFilesFolder>\TrialAnother, then I get SetSecurity error -
Could not find the file c:\program files\Trial
\SetSecurity.InstallState.
For further curiosity, I gave messageboxs in Install, Rollback &
Uninstall methods of both version's SetSecurity project & rebuild both
versions again. Now I was thinking that, when I will install fresh
version of 1.0.0, I will see the messageboxes in 1.0.0's install
method. Yaa! I saw those messageboxes. But when I install 1.0.1
version on 1.0.0, I saw messageboxes in 1.0.0's uninstall method &
after that again messageboxes in 1.0.0's install method!!!!
So please can anybody faced same problems? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance,
Dhananjay

The issue here is running the wrong assembly's custom action:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/90...

The missing installstate file is probably a downstream effect of this.

Thanks Phil for your reply.
As per your suggested link, I already signed my assembly with strong
name. For further checking I resigned my next version's assembly with
different key, but same problem :-(.
Any other solutions?

Is this assembly also in the GAC? I suspect that LoadFrom (used internally
to load your custom action assembly) will find one that exists in the GAC,
and it's the old one, the wrong one.
