Re: [WiX-users] Overwrite an Existing File (More Info)

2007-08-24 Thread Wilson, Phil
This is confusing - the log says Overwrite, hash doesn't match source file, and all that means that it DID replace the file on disk. If it wasn't going to replace it you'd see something like " Won't Overwrite; Won't patch;Existing file is unversioned and unmodified - hash matches source file"

Adding wix-users back to the thread. To answer your last question first, I know of no real way of telling what tool created the .MSI, except perhaps if Installshield has placed references in the Registry table of the .MSI. You might see things like "Installshield_InstallDriver) If all you have is

No, no errors in the msi log, as I can see. It says it runs the stop and delete service actions. Added the log on the end. The UnInstall will not stop the service, either, on UnInstall. Have tried to stop service and the uninstall but not success either. I will try this: http://blog.wharton
