I'm working on doing a major upgrade for a Wix install. Both the original and version I'm upgrading to are Wix built installs.
When the install runs, I'm able to detect that an upgrade is in process, and the install procedes normally. The Add/Remove Programs list shows just the new version. So, I go to uninstall the product. The uninstall completes successfully, and even completely uninstalls the product (files are deleted, services uninstalled, websites deleted and so on), but the entry in Add/Remove products remains! I run uninstall again, the uninstall completes successfully, and this time the entry is removed from Add/Remove Programs. If the new version is installed by itself, it uninstalls cleanly. I've sequenced the <RemoveExistingProducts/> in a couple of different spots, currently I'm sequenced at After="InstallValidate" as I'm probably going to want to uninstall prior to actually installing at this point. Any thoughts here? Is there a reference count thing going on that I'm missing? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Need-to-uinstall-twice-after-Major-Upgrade-tp17568377p17568377.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
