You're right sorry! Missed that, must be tunnel vision after tying to sort
this all afternoon J
Thanks again
Detour 2 is having REP after InstallFinalize, not InstallInitialize.
It's not a great detour for a number of reasons, one of which is having
uninstall custom actions that run after the later version has been
installed and that may do something destructive to it. =20

Interesting timing - this is another example of Rob's comment that
Fusion (and the GAC) don't interact well with installer technology.=20

I agree, but haven't I done the Workaround method 2 by this:
=20
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action=3D3D'NoDowngrade'
After=3D3D'FindRelatedProducts'>NEWERPRODUCTFOUND</Custom>
<RemoveExistingProducts After=3D3D"InstallInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Sounds like this:=3D20

All,
I've written a very simple Wix Script to install an exe (notepad in this
case) and a signed .Net dll to the GAC. This seems to work just fine.
However I want to test an upgrade. I would like the previous version to
be uninstalled and then the new version installed. I don't watch to
patch because I don't want to keep track of what changes occur in the
MSI. So the safest thing for me to do is a complete re-install.
To do this I change the version number from 1.0 to 1.1 and the upgrade
version from 1.0 to 1.1 in the script below, I then compile the script
and run it. My assembly MyCommon.dll is then removed from the GAC???
I've read that I need to increment the assembly version number etc, but
in a larger script one of my dll's may not change but I would still like
to have it re-deployed.
What am I doing wrong? I've even tried changing the sequence to move
RemoveExistingProducts to an earlier place. This works but I don't
think it's the correct thing to do as Orca moans about it...
Do I need to use the REINSTALL=3D3DALL switch? if so why? =3D20
