Hi guys,
This is more of a general Windows Installer issue
than a WiX issue, but I thought I'd solicit the feedback of the list as
many of you will certainly have useful opinions.
Essentially, last year when I was still quite
new with WiX and WI, I built an installer that really really should
have been per machine and should have specified ALLUSERS=1, but I didn't know
about that and got a per user install instead. The software installs an
IIS add-on and is definitely machine specific.
Now, I'm having the problems you would expect with
major upgrades and even simple uninstalls, in that only the user who installed
the software can uninstall it or detect that it is installed properly.
What would you do? I plan to change future
versions to do per machine installs, but it would be nice if I had a way to fix
the mess I've created. This software is for internal consumption and
hasn't been installed broadly, so I have a reasonable chance of chasing down
most of the installs.
All insights are greatly appreciated.
