I would like someone to confirm if my way of thinking is right.
I want to modify installer that will upgrade existing installation. By
upgrading here I mean minor upgrade, because all I want is to copy a set of
dll files and run custom sql scripts. I also want to change product version,
but nod code.
All I'm changing in existing .wxs is adding 'Upgrade' tag with 2
'UpgradeVersion' nodes, like this:
<Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeId)">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum='$(var.ProductVersion)' OnlyDetect='yes'
IncludeMinimum='no' Property='NEWERFOUND'/>
<UpgradeVersion Minimum='1.0.0' OnlyDetect='yes'
Maximum='$(var.ProductVersion)' Property='OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED'
IncludeMinimum='yes' IncludeMaximum='no' />
</Upgrade>
I defined 2 custom actions, like this:
<CustomAction Id='NoDowngrade' Error='A later version of [ProductName] is
already installed.' />
<CustomAction Id='ShowUpdateInfo' Error='[ProductName] update is going to
happen.' />
I use them in my 'InstallUISequence' node, like this:
<Custom Action='NoDowngrade' After='FindRelatedProducts'>NEWERFOUND</Custom>
<Custom Action='ShowUpdateInfo'
After='FindRelatedProducts'>OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED</Custom>
After I compile wxs into .msi, I'm also creating setup.exe , by running :
msistuff setup.exe /d WixSetup.msi /n "Product Name" /o INSTALLUPD /v 200 /w
InstMsiW.exe /p REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=amus
Now, I have installed one version of the software (by using this setup.exe).
Next I'm changing product version and I'm trying to run an upgrade by
running setup.exe.
I suppose, I should get an error saying '[ProductName] update is going to
happen'.
But I get information that I should uninstall the product first.
If I change REINSTALLMODE to vamus, it goes on, but I just don't get the
mentioned error, like it doesn't discover which version I have installed.
What am I doing wrong?
First - I don't want to use vamus (v sucks). Second - why it doesn't
discover current version?
