I have to upgrade an installscript installation (non-MSI) with a new wix
installer. 

 

I figured out how to get the uninstall command (registry,
HKLM/.../Uninstall/GUID/UninstallString) and I can run that as a custom
action, but...

 

1.       I can't make the damn thing wait to finish, it detaches the
process (I tried specifying /w, cmd.exe /C /Q, etc.). Has anyone done
this?

2.       I need to pass an .iss file to click through the UI, how do I
do that?

3.       Is this a good idea at all? Am I missing something?

 

I am tempted to just tell the users to uninstall the application
manually, but that's going to make people who care about use experience
very unhappy - the whole point of moving to wix-based installers is to
improve it .

 

Thx

dB.
