Why do 4.0 and 5.0 use different UpgradeCodes? Generally your entire product-series should have the same UpgradeCode. It makes things like downgrade detection easier, and reduces the amount of stuff you have to keep track of over time.
You can place a condition on the RemoveExistingProducts action which will either allow or block the action in its entirety. <InstallExecuteSequence><RemoveExistingProducts ...>condition</RemoveExistingProducts></InstallExecuteSequence> where "..." is your Before/After/Sequence attribute and "condition" is the condition you wish to use to enable/disable that action. Be sure to make any/all properties secure that you use in your condition that need to be passed either from the UI or the command-line. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Neumann [mailto:frank.neumann.karlsho...@web.de] Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 9:53 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Tweaking RemoveExistingProducts depending on user input Our installer uses major upgrades as described in many Wix documents. I would like to add a little more comfort to the installer by giving the users the following choices: 1. Uninstall the previous major version (4.0) during install of 5.0 or 2. Have 4.0 and 5.0 installed side by side The install packages for 4.0 and 5.0 use different upgrade codes. Is there a way to tweak "RemoveExistingProducts" by user input?
