I have a WiX installer which includes merge modules for the Visual Studio 2005 CRT. I'm moving the project to Visual Studio 2008, and now the merge modules are different (for example, Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm instead of Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm).
I would like to distribute this change as a major upgrade, for one, to avoid running msiexec at the command line with options (for a minor upgrade) and two, as I understand it, replacing files (from the merge modules -- i.e. delete the *8* files and install the *9* files into C:\Windows\WinSxS) requires a major upgrade. How do I preserve an INI file that was installed by the first installer, and which be deleted by the uninstall which happens when the major upgrade runs? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
