Hi everyone,
I've got a real big problem here on applying minor upgrades to my
product. I really need your help here :)
During the first install, I ask the user where the product should be
installed (by using the wix standard Gui)
But on minor upgrades, I do not ask him again. I just re-install the
files to the previously selected location (well, that's what I'd like to do)
I seem to have some problems with the property that points to my
installation directory.
Here's an extraction of the code I'm using:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'>
<Directory Id="MyCompany" Name="MyCompany">
<Directory Id="MyProduct" Name="MyProduct">
<Directory Id="SUITEINSTALLDIR" Name="MySuite">
<Component Id="MY_REGISTRY_ACTIONS" Guid="a guid">
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\MyCompany\MyProduct\MySuite\MyModule">
<RegistryValue KeyPath="yes" Name="InstallDir"
Value="[SUITEINSTALLDIR]MyModule" Type="string" Action="write" />
</RegistryKey>
..... Install a bunch of files ....
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="SUITEINSTALLDIR" />
<UIRef Id="MyProduct_UI" />
<UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" />
Now, let's say that the default ProgramFilesFolder is C:\Program Files\
On the first installation, the installdir is ask for. I enter F:\Program
Files\MyCompany\MyProduct\MySuite *(and not C:)*. Everything works well :
-the files are installed in F:\Program Files\MyCompany\MyProduct\MySuite
-the registry value "InstallDir" is set to F:\Program
Files\MyCompany\MyProduct\MySuite\MyModule
On a minor upgrade, no installation dir is ask for (this is ok), and the
new files are correctly copied to F:\Program
Files\MyCompany\MyProduct\MySuite, but :
-the registry value "InstallDir" is set to *C::\Program
Files\MyCompany\MyProduct\MySuite\MyModule*
Any idea of how I could fix this?
Thanks a lot for your patience for reading all way down here :)
Fred
