Hi, I've been using WiX v2 on XP for a while and I'm moving to WiX v3 on Windows Vista. I have the following setup:
Product: Px Components: c1 c2 c3 Features: f1 (c1,c2) - level 1 f2 (c1,c3) - level 2 f3 (c3) - level 3 At the command line, I use: $msiexec /i px.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=f3 in order to install f3. By default f1 is installed if ADDLOCAL is omitted. That's good. However, let's say that I want to install f3 after f1 is installed on my computer. What's happening is that f1 is not being removed, and f3 is being installed. I'm including my WiX file that I'm using to prototype this behaviour at the bottom of this message. To build this file, do the following: candle Px.wxs light Px.wixobj -sice:ICE61 I use -sice:ICE61 to get rid of the warning: " warning LGHT1076 : ICE61: This product should remove only older versions of itself. No Maximum version was detected for the current product. (PREVIOUSVERSIONFOUND)" I do this because I find myself going back and forth between versions for testing purposes, I want the product - Px - to be completely uninstalled regardless of what feature what was previously installed. Kind of like a Permanent Major upgrade. Efficiency is not a priority. My second question is after installing Px with f1 or f2 or f3, how do I make that information available in the add/remove section. Presently, only Px is showing up. It would be nice if Px (f3) showed up if I installed Px with the ADDLOCAL=f3 option to indicate what feature I chose. Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated.
