Re: [WiX-users] restoring an app-created Startup folder shortcut on amajor upgrade

[Wilson, Phil]

I think you can use the UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE property, similar to Dana Gutride's recent post. If you condition the removal at uninstall (the custom action in the older version) on NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE then a major upgrade will not run the custom action to remove the shortcut but a plain uninstall will.

Subject: [WiX-users] restoring an app-created Startup folder shortcut on amajor upgrade

I have an application that will allow the user to add an app shortcut.  I would like to remove it during an uninstall but not a major upgrade.  Right now, I have a custom action that restores the shortcut (written in C++ and doing some weirdbut there must be a way without a CA..or at least a CA that isn't so unweildy.
