Hi Amy, Did you set UpgradeVersion/@MigrateFeatures to "yes" on product you want to upgrade?

Subject: [WiX-users] hoping for confirmation Hi All, I am working on some minor issues in a major upgrade. :) I was hoping someone could tell me a little about the MigrateFeatureStates action when you have an installer that permits multiple embedded transforms of the product code. My install is in wix v3. I have a custom action which modifies the property I use to keep track of the product codes of already installed applications (in the Upgrade table). My property is OLDAPPFOUND. With verbose logging, I can see that the OLDAPPFOUND property gets set to a series of product codes, one for each installed instance of my application. However, since I want to only upgrade one specific instance, I later set the OLDAPPFOUND property to the product code for the specific instance I want to upgrade. This definitely works as I want. However, currently, I have my custom action SetOLDAPPFOUND scheduled after MigrateFeatureStates in the InstallExecuteSequence. The result seems to be that despite what features were selected for install in the product being upgraded, the install that runs for the new product is trying to install all the features that are default selected when the install begins. I suspect this is related to the schedule of my SetOLDAPPFOUND action relative to MigrateFeatureStates. Can anyone tell me if my suspicions are correct. Would changing the schedule of these two actions relative to one another make it so it would only install the same features for the new app as it had for the old one?
