Ok, I have two products being installed, each with their own .msi package.
Each product is versioned, and is updated via a major update, which means
removal of old and install of new.
I got this working perfectly on one of my projects, and copied the xml
elements to my other .wxs file.
Unfortunately, in the second case it does not work. When I test, say, v
1.0.2 and then upgrade to 1.0.3, BOTH are installed. No "upgrade" happens,
they just get installed in the same place.
Worse, if I install 1.0.3 and then try to install 1.0.2, that works as well.
In the first wxs I worked on, I got it so that upgrading from an old version
to a new version removed the old version, and trying to downgrade would give
you an error.
I copied the xml chunks to the new .msi file, but they don't work.
I'm trying to go through the log file from msiexec, but there is a ton of
stuff here and I don't know what to even look for.
The relevant parts are:
<Product Id="*"
Name="My Other Package"
Language="1033"
Version="$(var.Version)"
UpgradeCode="BCC1E0A5-5BB3-42d4-A468-BA3FED552A65"
Manufacturer="My Software Corp.">
<Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" />
<Upgrade Id="358F169A-F1E8-46a2-A556-9C37FC712F2B">
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="no" Property="PATCHFOUND"
Minimum="1.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="$(var.Version)"
IncludeMaximum="no"/>
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWERFOUND"
Minimum="$(var.Version)" IncludeMinimum="yes"/>
</Upgrade>
<CustomAction Id="AlreadyUpdated" Error="[ProductName] is already
installed."/>
<CustomAction Id="NoDowngrade" Error="A later version of [ProductName]
is already installed."/>
<....>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="NoDowngrade"
After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWERFOUND</Custom>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Am I doing something obviously wrong? Or is there something I can look for
in the log file to help point me in the right direction?
