I have been testing the major upgrade procedure under WiX Version 3.0.5217.0
and Windows XP. I install version 1.0 of my application successfully. (It
has the required Upgrade element.) To prepare for the next version of my
application I increment the FILEVERSION, PRODUCTVERSION and FileVersion
values in resource file from 1.0 to 1.1 and rebuild the executable. (WiX
Edit reads the File Version--see below.)
I go back to Wix Edit and change both the Product GUID and the Package GUID.
The Upgrade ID GUID does not change. I rebuild the MSI setup package.
Then I use this new package to install version 1.1 of my application.
Version 1.1 of the program installs successfully but I am left with two
entries in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. One points to version
1.0; the other points to version 1.1.
<Upgrade Id="49AB249B-C143-412E-B138-6689533DC53A">
<UpgradeVersion Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED"
Maximum="!(bind.FileVersion.gssta_exe)" IncludeMinimum="yes"
OnlyDetect="no" IncludeMaximum="no" Minimum="0.0.0.0" />
<UpgradeVersion Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED"
Minimum="!(bind.FileVersion.gssta_exe)" OnlyDetect="yes"
IncludeMinimum="yes" />
</Upgrade>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
In the Add or Remove Programs table, if I select Remove for version 1.0
(after version 1.1 is installed) the application is not removed. (The table
entry does go away.) If I select Remove for version 1.1, the application is
removed.
What can I do to ensure that only the latest version is shown in the Add or
Remove Programs table?
