Hi all, The problem that I am currently facing was,
I have two msi s, say AppA and AppB. AppB requires AppA to be installed on the target machine ( treat AppB as some plugins, with out having base application installed on the machine, having plugins is meaning less). To verify this dependency, a registry entry will be created at the time of installation of AppA. The problems that I am facing currently are, 1. At the time of uninstallation of AppA of AppB should also get uinstalled. For this some of the suggestions are a. Merging AppA and AppB and creation of new single msi will do the job. But the problem is here if I want to upgrade/update either of the applications ( not both) is not possible ( why because they are in the form of msm). Even if I create a new msi of either of the applications and do the modifications, because it is another msi it won't get uinistall at the time of uinstallation of single merged msi. ( meaning of upgradation of plugins lost here) refer this post : http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=48BF4FA5.9020607%40joyofsetup.com b. Creation of an exe for launching the individual msi s is a good option, but I need an msi ( it makes everything simple right). 2. Is there any way to uninstall a previous version before installing the application. if so can any one please give me the wix statement. 3. How can we execute an upgraded msi by double clicking ( according to the tutorial lesson 4, its not possbile right). I don't understand why we are unable to support plugins concept by using wix. Please help me, Waiting for your valuable suggestions. Thanks alot for your support. -Raj ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
