Re: [WiX-users] Quick question on upgrade checking

[Jeff MacDuff]

Ok so I have gone through the logs a few times…   In the FindRelatedProducts section of the MSI it does find 1 related product… however the GUID it lists is the “ProductCode” of the Old ( V1) MSI… not the UpgradeCode.   From reading WIX , it was my understanding that the new MSI (V2) should list the UpgradeCode and not the ProductCode ?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 10:08 AM To: Jeff MacDuff Cc: Wilson, Phil; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Quick question on upgrade checking   Jeff MacDuff wrote: The overall goal is that anytime I install the new package, it should prompt to remove the old package regardless of language.   So if I have a English OS , with a DEU old package installed.. and I run the new DEU package on this OS it should prompt me.   That's the case I am testing and it never finds the old package.   Two suggestions: 1. Check a verbose log; the FindRelatedProducts action reports a fair bit of information for products it checks for relevance based on the Upgrade table row's attributes. 2. See if the following excerpt from the FindRelatedProdcuts doc applies to you: FindRelatedProducts only recognizes existing products that have been installed using the Windows Installer with an .msi that defines an UpgradeCode property, a ProductVersion property, and a value for the ProductLanguage property that is one of the languages listed in the Template Summary Property. Note that FindRelatedProducts uses the language returned by MsiGetProductInfo. For FindRelatedProducts to work correctly, the package author must be sure that the ProductLanguage property in the Property table is set to a language that is also listed in the Template Summary Property.
