Re: [WiX-users] Patch not visible in ARP if MSI installed via Bundle

@Rob, I've tried the Update element but the bundle still shows up in the main list rather than the 'View installed updates' list.. Please advise... Thanks, -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Patch-not-visible-in-ARP-if-MSI-install

Re: [WiX-users] Patch not visible in ARP if MSI installed via Bundle

You automatically get a "free" upgrade RelatedBundle matching the UpgradeCode. That way you're always able to upgrade your bundles. MSI doesn't require this with MSIs which catches people by surprise sometimes when they figure out at v2 that they can't upgrade v1. On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 6:02 AM

Re: [WiX-users] Patch not visible in ARP if MSI installed via Bundle

Thanks.. do I also need RelatedBundle set in the MSI bundle or will suffice in the MSP bundle? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Patch-not-visible-in-ARP-if-MSI-installed-via-Bundle-tp7586533p7586583.html Sent from the wix-users ma

Re: [WiX-users] Patch not visible in ARP if MSI installed via Bundle

You can make a patch bundle show up in "View install updates". I think it's the Update element child of Bundle that does that. Also, Burn does a lot of stuff to ensure the MSP is applied correctly to all products it targets. Just double clicking on an MSP doesn't guarantee the same. Basically, I t

Having spent the morning playing around with this, I would agree that patch bundles are probably the best solution... It would be nice if a purely patch bundle showed up in 'View installed updates' ... James. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n

Indeed, if I rename : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\4109501100F01FEC\ProductName neither the MSI or the MSP are visible in ARP (!) This is a real problem... Anyone, any input? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabbl

I think if you delete the key it and its updates would not be visible in ARP. -Original Message- From: rowbot [mailto:james.row...@microfocus.com] Sent: 14 June 2013 10:18 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Patch not visible in ARP if MSI installed via Bundle

Re: [WiX-users] Patch not visible in ARP if MSI installed via Bundle

Yes, patch bundle is an option but if it's just installing one MSP, a EXE around it seems a bit clunky (and it's also another UI that needs creating/maintaining) I wonder if we don't hide the MSI entry (Visible="yes")... is there some way of deleting the MSI's Uninstall key? -- View this messa

[WiX-users] Patch not visible in ARP if MSI installed via Bundle

I've installed an MSI using a Bundle, and then installed an MSP.. The MSP is not visible in 'View installed updates' (!) I presume this is because the MSI is installed with ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 This is not good news Is there a fix/workaround? Thanks, -- View this message in context:
