Hi,
I am looking for some resources - books/articles/websites on how to go about
building a professional setup. How to apply hotfix? How to version the
setup/dll's? What are the issues involved in deploying product to end user?
Etc...
Basically, I am looking for a beginner's crash course on
deployment/setup/versioning.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi,
The message you get is when you do a minor upgrade (ProductCode is the same,
just version changes). In this case (minor upgrades), you have to launch
your msi from the command line with like this:
msiexec /i <your_setup>.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus.
If you want to completely remove your product first, a major upgrade is what
you want. For this, change both product code and version for your new setup.
Also, add an Upgrade tag refering to your previous version (make sure you
set OnlyDetect to 'no' in there). You will probably want to schedule
'RemoveExistingProducts' custom action after 'InstallInitialize'.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to automatically uninstall a Product in a WIX
installer
Hi,
I did build a WIX msi installer to install our product.
However when I run this installer again I do get a message box with the text
'Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of
this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing
version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.'
What I would want to happen is that the installer first would deinstall
the product and then reinstalls it from the WIX msi installer.
I have been playing around with the tag RemoveExistingProducts however
that doesn't do the trick.
Is it possible to automatically uninstall in a WIX msi installer?
Best Regards,
Harm-Jan Zwinderman
