Sorry, I misunderstood your original email. If you want to uninstall previous component and install new one during upgrade install you might want to use transitive components (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372462(VS.85).aspx). In Wix, use Component/@Transitive = "yes". Conditions on transitive components are always evaluated, whereas conditions on regular components are evaluated during fresh install only.

This sounds like a great solution, but I couldn't get repair to work the way I wanted. I was using the following structure: <Component Id="App_JRE15" Guid="..."> <Condition>JRE15HOME and NOT JDK15HOME</Condition> <Category Id="guid-1" Qualifier="JRE15"/> <Shortcut Target="[JRE15HOME]\bin\javaw.exe" .../> </Component> <Component Id="App_JDK15" Guid="..."> <Condition>JDK15HOME</Condition> <Category Id="guid-1" Qualifier="JDK15"/> <Shortcut Target="[JDK15HOME]\bin\javaw.exe" .../> </Component> [similar components for other combinations here] If I have JDK 1.5 and JRE 1.5 installed, installing my package results in Component App_JDK15 being installed as per the conditions. If I then remove JDK 1.5 and "repair" (REINSTALL=ALL, REINSTALLMODE=pecms) my package, I want Component App_JDK15 to be removed (its condition will not be true any more) and App_JRE15 to be created (its condition will now be true). Instead, App_JDK15 just gets updated with a broken Target :-( It isn't clear how [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets used in a reinstall, but setting them all to the same string (eg "App") didn't change what happened.
