This works for MSI-based ones. /clone_wait did the trick. Now I need to
figure out the rest ... Thx.

I think /SMS is the incantation that makes the process wait for
completion. It's case-sensitive I believe.

Subject: [WiX-users] Beating a dead horse: uninstalling an InstallScript
setup during a wix upgrade?
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.
