I am having an issue with creating a sample patch for our msi written in WIX. Can anyone in this alias help ?
First of all, the patch doesn't seem to work with all standard commands like REINTSALL = ALL or full UI. I have been told by Mike, a setup expert that we need to do one of three things below 1) Change your UI so you don’t modify Feature state 2) Change your UI sequence so you only show the progress page during patching 3) Use the Wix UI library, which should support this scenario Another expert, Carolyn from msi also suggested : "The UI change would be most likely something similar to a PatchWelcome dialog that has control events that correspond to setting the REINSTALL property to ALL. You’ll probably need to conditionalize the dialog on the PATCH property (and ensure your other dialogs don’t start as well)." Can anyone here point me to more detailed info / links / examples from the perspective of WIX as to how we can make this correction ? I have the installer coded in WIX and uses C++ dll as custom action. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
