Does anyone have a comment on this? Is there are reason why the
condition doesn't work with the msi is run in silent mode? Is this true
for all conditions?
Thanks

After a bit of googling I think I have found the answer, the condition
doesn't work in silent mode. To make it work I needed these elements:
<CustomAction Id="NewerVersion" Error="A later version of
[ProductName] is already installed." />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="NewerVersion"
After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWERVERSIONDETECTED</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

It sounds like I have done something wrong in my script, I have pared
this down to a minimal install (see below) to reproduce the problem. I
don't think it is ALLUSERS as I can see this set in the logs, I don't
have a FindRelatedProducts - should I? Can you see what I might be
missing?
Thanks for your help,
Neil
P.S. This is WiX v2 but I have the same problem with WiX v3.

Maybe the silent install is bypassing the UI where you set the ALLUSERS
property to per-system. So you're ending up with the default, a per-user
install, and that goes on side by side with the per-system one.
Something like that anyway. Another thing that might be happening is
that you don't have the FindRelatedProducts action in both the UI and
execute sequences.

This is not strictly a WiX problem but I thought someone here may know
the answer.
If I build v1.1.0 of an MSI with a unique ProductCode and PackageCode
and then build v1.2.0 with a new ProductCode and PackageCode. Both
packages contain the same UpgradeCode and the following upgrade element:
<Upgrade Id="10B99CC9-5D83-4489-82F3-368E772B803D">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.Version)" OnlyDetect="yes"
Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" />
<UpgradeVersion
Minimum="0.0.0"
Maximum="$(var.Version)"
IncludeMinimum="yes"
IncludeMaximum="no"
Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" />
<Property Id="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" Secure="yes" />
</Upgrade>
If I install v1.1.0 and then v1.2.0 everything is fine and the package
upgrades. If I then run v1.1.0 I see the message that a newer version is
installed. Now for the problem, if I install v1.1.0 silently (using
/passive or /qb) v1.1.0 is installed so I end up with both versions
displayed in Add/Remove programs.
Is this something I am doing wrong or am I misunderstanding how MSIs
work?
Thanks
Neil
