Re: [WiX-users] majorupgrade when signing and merge

Hi Martin, Did you change the Product ID and the version number? Both of those have to change to be called a major upgrade. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/major_upgrade.htm shows how to integrate a major upgrade into your .WXS file. John Wintellect http://www.wintellect.com +1-877-968-

[WiX-users] majorupgrade when signing and merge

2011-10-05 Thread Martin Kulov
Hi, I have an MSI installer built few months ago. It used to work fine during MajorUpgrade. Today I signed the MSI with code certificate and also added one Merge Module. However now my MSI file gets installed as a new product and does not upgrade the existing installation as it used to do.

Pretty annoying, heh? Out of the box? No. Some custom tables and custom action / custom dialog work? Sure. Here's an article describing something I created back in 2006 for a former employer: http://blog.iswix.com/2006/07/short-comings-of-launchconditions.html ---

[WiX-users] LaunchCondition question

2011-10-05 Thread Caio Monteiro
Hi all, My installer has several launch conditions setup. It works at it should, checking one condition at a time, and giving the error message configured. I was wondering if there is any way to run them all, instead of sequentially, and show all the non-compliant messages. Thanks! Caio -

[WiX-users] Incremental vs. cumulative patches (.msp)

2011-10-05 Thread Dino
Hello I am new to the world of msi and started learning about patching. I learned that you can have incremental as well as cumulative patches. For example, I can have a patch 1.2 which will update 1.0 or 1.1 to 1.2. This will be cumulative, but if I have incremental patches, they will be 1.0 to

I'm not certain what your exact problem is, but looking at the schema for the remove file table leads me to believe you are missing fields that are not nullable. I've used: const string REMOVEFILES_VIEW = @"SELECT `FileKey`, `Component_`, `FileName`, `DirProperty`, `InstallMode` FROM `RemoveFile`"

The scenario I am trying to handle is the cancel during uninstall. If I were to just bomb the folder the rollback wouldn't work and it would delete the folder anyway. I am going to try and see if I can pressure the team into using 3.6. Don't know if it will be an issue or not. Initially t

Okay, I'm looking at the installer in Orca. I see that all the directories declared in the modules have the package guid appended to them (e.g. ASPdirectory0.1A39512D_87E4_4FD4_AEFC_88DE0E1C2536), but that's the same for those that went to the right place and those that went somewhere else. A

Open the MSI up in Orca or Inst Ed and you might find that the directory IDs in the merge modules have had Guids added to them. Ids in modules are "modularised" to avoid name clashes. -Original Message- From: Mark Modrall [mailto:mmodr...@mzinga.com] Sent: 04 October 2011 23:14 To: Genera
