What are the exact options you are using when reinstalling? (You can pass nasty
options to msiexec to have it force overwrite things.) A verbose install log
will tell you exactly why it's doing it.

Thank you Rob!
Unfortunately, the MSIs and MSPs in our product are already authored this way
as I described in my last email, that they themselves manage "SKU" ARP entries.
And it is costly to update our MSIs and MSPs to remove such custom actions, and
switch our custom bootstrapper to Burn wit
Sorry, I missed the implied statement that you wanted uninstall to uninstall as
well. It won't. What you're asking for is a very complex feature request that
we've seen across the whole board of Windows Installer behaviors. The Windows

Hi,
I am not sure if I can do this but...
I have created a web site using the WIX
IIS::WebAppPool/IIS::WebSite/IIS::WebServiceExtension/IIS::WebDir
I would like to know if there is a way NOT to remove the website during an
upgrade? (major upgrade, does an uninstall then install...)
thanks,

Yes, what you said make sense. The suggestion would be to remove the custom
actions that create the SKU Product ARP entry and just let Burn do it. It ends
up being the same thing in the end except you need one less custom action
(always a good thing!).

If that's the case, then why when I re-install today, it overrides the
app.config, even though the time of the app.config in the installer and on the
installed folder is different ?

Now, before you do your upgrade, have a look at the file's modified and

can be overwritten (because it sets those dates to the same value du

In general I agree with Rob that we should consider Bundle as if it is MSI,
which is cached and manageable. That is perhaps also the reason why

You can't "run" a merge module or install it as a standalone item.
Merge modules must be used at build time when an MSI file is being
created. That's what the "merge" term is about.
You can ship merge modules (like Microsoft does) so they can be
included in the MSI files that users of their produc
Hi!
If you're using TestBA written by bryan, you'll have to manually interpret
your parameters.
You'll have to implement what the BA will do when these are passed.
The results you see from your other post is correct. Since you don't have
the implementation, it won't run the uninstall.
