Re: [WiX-users] RemoveExistingProducts after the InstallFinalize action still needed so that Major Upgrades don't remove assembly from GAC ?

Thanks for mentioning those hotfixes. In the end I've included them in the bootstrapper. It seems to be the right way compared to increasing the file version of the assemblies. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/RemoveExistingProducts

Re: [WiX-users] RemoveExistingProducts after the InstallFinalize action still needed so that Major Upgrades don't remove assembly from GAC ?

I've done some more tests and it seems that on Windows Installer 4.5 the assembly is removed from GAC after a major upgrade. Good to see that at least on 5.0 got fixed. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/RemoveExistingProducts-after-the

[WiX-users] Retry at RMFilesInUse an invalid return value ?

Hi, I have a small setup that uses Embedded UI. During uninstall the RMFilesInUse (I just start an executable that was installed) message type gets to the embedded UI and I return DialogResult.Retry . I would expect the unistall to try again and check if the file is still in use. If it is still

[WiX-users] Embedded UI , Shutdown() not called

Hi, I'm building an embedded UI with DTF and noticed that sometimes the Shutdown method is not called in the uninstall phase. When this happens, an InstallMessage.Terminate is received in the ProcessMessage method. Is there anything I'm missing ? I have a feeling that this is more a question
