[WiX-users] UnInstallExecuteSequence ... how?

Hi all, I make use of InstallExecuteSequence to trigger custom programs when an installation succeeds. During uninstall I need to reverse the process and trigger another custom program, but unfortunately (telling from the docs) there does not seem to be a UnInstallExecuteSequence. How can I tr

Re: [WiX-users] Vista Standard User and perMachine install

I frequently lose track of all this, but I think (well for today at least): 1) You can't trust Privileged when there is going to be an elevation prompt in the execute sequence. The UI sequence can be untrustworthy. If you want older semantics, set the MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION property to get it

Re: [WiX-users] How does the element work

The internally calls something like the MsiDoAction api, and it can only access Immediate actions (since deferred/commit/rollback actions can only be scheduled during InstallExecuteSequence between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize). Some more details are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us

I assume from the description you don't want to ship the older versions you intend to leave behind in newer MSIs, correct? Will those old components ever be removed? If so, by what mechanism? The component you update (that is the DLL, Debug, Doc, and Registry, correct?) keeps its filename and dire

Re: [WiX-users] Vista Standard User and perMachine install

If you set Privileged to 1, you are overriding whatever setting Windows Installer had generated. Don't set it, just consume it in your conditions. Installer sets it for you if appropriate. InstallPrivilages="elevated" tells Windows Installer that you need admin rights. (Really it suppresses tellin

Re: [WiX-users] performance counters are not being uninstalled

That is exactly what it means. You could identify the other product using a component with the same GUID and either remove or repair it. A vbs/js script using the Installer.ComponentClients property would tell you all the clients (by ProductCode) currently registering components with your same GUI

[WiX-users] How does the element work

If instead of releasing an MSI you build and release a removable MSP, the removal of that MSP will restore the files. Assuming you can do that, it is likely the easiest way. If you have followed the component rules and your current servicepack MSI is a good candidate for being a minor upgrade MSI,
