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

Subject: [WiX-users] RemoveExistingProducts .NET GAC'd Assemblies
Removed
=20
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=3DALL switch? if so why? =20
